Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wedding at Oak Brook Bath & Tennis Club - Toni & Danny
I can literally feel the glow of the warm sunshine on my skin as we captured Danny & Tony’s beautiful portraits right behind the Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club. The setting sun bathed them in the most glorious light and filled summer’s wildflowers and tall weeds with a glow you can only find in the Midwest during this glorious time of year…
Now that we are in the smack dab middle of January here in the Chicago Suburbs, our appreciate for days like this is sky rocketing. It’s that time of the year where hibernation and quiet allow us to actually get caught up on sharing here and it couldn’t come in more perfect timing as I’m bundled up with my warmest blanket, drinking extra hot coffee, and looking out on the dusting of snow we just received. I can literally feel the glow of the warm sunshine on my skin as we captured Toni & Danny’s beautiful portraits right behind the Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club. The setting sun bathed them in the most glorious light and filled the wildflowers and tall weeds with a glow you can only find in the Midwest during this glorious time of year. The middle of August is one of our most favorite times of the year to shoot. To relive August 14th, 2021 is a welcomed reminder today.
Toni & Danny’s wedding day was the perfect combination of high end, yet no fuss details. Everything about Danny’s tux and Toni’s gorgeous gown was tailored, classic, and comfortable. (When you feel comfortable, it shows in your photos and we’re big fans of that.) Toni’s gown was the most flowing and luxe fabric I (Meg) had ever had the honor of getting to handle. When you have a gown like that, you can be certain that spinning and twirling is going to be a part of the game plan! Truly, this day was a dream and such a delight to be a part of. Danny and Tony, you two have our hearts! Thank you for the honor of August 14th, 2021!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Mistwood Golf Club Wedding - Jenn & Aaron
Jenn & Aaron’s Wedding day at Mistwood Golf Club was a beautiful way to tie up all the loose ends that last year brought them. It was just as meaningful as their intimate ceremony in 2020, but this time every single loved one and family member was present to celebrate and bless their marriage. Jenn’s immediate family members live in Germany, so they were unable to witness their first ceremony. June 25th, 2021 was a total redemption and a reminder of how beautiful it is to begin a marriage with the love, support, and blessings of those closest to us.

Jenn was also able to finally put on her Hayley Paige gown and twirl that gorgeous full skirt! The classic details, black suits and bridesmaid dresses, and gorgeous white florals by Kio Kreations were a treat to capture all day! And, for the very first time, we watched a live painter recreate Jenn & Aaron’s first dance throughout the reception.
We’re so thrilled for these two to have finally gotten to celebrate with their nearest and dearest, but we will absolutely miss them, as it’s been an honor to have communicated with them over the past few years! Jenn and Aaron, we wish you the happiest life together in Georgia and thank you from the bottom of our hearts to have gotten to be a part of these beautiful celebrations!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Port Washington, Wisconsin Engagement Session - Kallie & Matt
When I met up with Kallie & Matt in their neck of the woods in Port Washington, WI for their engagement session, I couldn’t believe that I still hadn’t seen this beautiful area yet. And, I think I’m going to have to admit that it’s probably my newest favorite location for an engagement session.
I think I could live in the Midwest my whole life and still never cease to be amazed by the beauty of this area in the summertime. We live right between the City of Chicago and the border of Wisconsin. The diversity of the rural and urban areas that we have driving access to with one hour keeps us on our toes. Even after living here for almost 9 years now, we’re still discovering new locations. I have to be honest though, the Wisconsin area has been stealing our hearts lately. Have you ever heard the stereotype about everyone in Wisconsin being so dang nice? Well, it’s true and we have the most incredible couples to prove it. When I met up with Kallie & Matt in their neck of the woods in Port Washington, WI for their engagement session, I couldn’t believe that I still hadn’t seen this beautiful area yet. And, I think I’m going to have to admit that it’s probably my newest favorite location for an engagement session. There’s no where more beautiful in the summertime than Lake Michigan. The cherry on top was getting to shoot these two love birds who were up for ANYTHING! Y’all, walking down these dunes was not for the faint of heart, so huge props to Kallie for going with it like a pro! Matt and Kallie were such a treat to capture because they’re two of the most playful, fun, and carefree souls I’ve ever met. We were already excited about their wedding day and now it’s without a doubt going to be one for the books! Kallie & Matt, thank you so much for the honor of getting to capture this little part of your engagement in your stomping grounds! September of 2022 cannot come soon enough and we’re off the charts ready for it!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | The Abbey & Pier 290 Wedding - Beth & Pat
June 19th was a dream of a day. Beth and Pat’s destination wedding at Pier 290 in Lake Geneva was truly one for the books. All the magic was made possible by a dream team of Lake Geneva vendors who made everything so lovely. We were so excited to get to start with day with Jillian Nieman and capture some of the most beautiful colors by Lily Pots. (Seeing that color palette right off the bat helps set the tone instantly for what’s to come!) Also, can we just talk about how incredible Jillian Nieman is! She’s truly one of the most sincere makeup artists we’ve ever encountered. …she literally did Beth’s makeup with the bouquet to perfectly match Beth’s lip color to her florals. She also comes along for touchups throughout first look, portraits, and ceremony.

Just like so many other couples planning their 2020 weddings, Beth and Pat needed to postpone their wedding to 2021 so they could be surrounded by their nearest and dearest. It’s been such a joy to get to communicate with Beth over these past two years. She’s truly one of those brides that you look forward to getting to spend the day with …and by the end of this day, we couldn’t help but want to be friends.
Beth and Pat started their day at The Abbey Resort and Spa. (In our humble opinions, THE BEST way to get yourself into that relaxed lakeside vibe for waterfront portraits will always be at this iconic resort! After their sweet first look, Beth & Pat were joined by all of their children and family members. There’s nothing more beautiful than two families coming together to become one and their ceremony overlooking the lake at Pier 290 encompassed all of those emotions and beauty. Directly after they said “I do” with one of the most epic flower tosses of all time, the Duchess of Lake Geneva’s Cruise Line awaiting Pat, Beth, and their guests for cocktail hour and a ride circling the entire lake before dropping them back off for their reception. I think if we were to concoct the most perfect day, it would include every single part of this beautiful wedding.
Beth & Pat, we truly couldn’t have been more honored to have been a part of your team! We know this day has been a long time of anticipation and waiting! Your love for each other is so genuine and sincere, but it’s all of that plus your love for your children that has melted us. Thank you and the biggest congratulations!

Each year we look forward to seeing past couples and their growing families, as well as meeting amazing new couples and families for our annual mini sessions!

It’s such a privilege to capture your family, whether its a family of two or ten, toddlers or fur babies, and we can’t wait to see you again!
This year we have planned four Mini Session weekends for 2021 available for booking depending on the season you are most interested. These weekends are reserved on a first come, first serve basis and you can reserve your date and time below.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Autumn Wedding - Sarah & Scott
This was our very last wedding of 2020 and I can’t think of a better way to have capped it all off. Sarah & Scott were absolutely amazing navigating all the changes just days before their wedding as the Chicago area began shutting back down again. Many of their plans may have changed, but it didn’t seem to phase them or the joy and celebration that was October 31st, 2020. They decided on changing their reception space to a small intimate gathering with their closest family and friends at a friend’s beautiful home in the suburbs. It truly was such an honor to capture and witness such a sacred day. 2020 has changed how we see weddings and it’s all been because of the most incredible couples this year who decided that their love couldn’t be canceled. We celebrate Sarah & Scott. Their attitudes, their joy, their ability to roll with all the punches 2020 may have brought their way. If every couple can get through the challenges of what 2020 brought and still decide to tie the knot regardless what what or how they envisioned their day to be, then we truly believe they’re going to be able to weather the storm. Because marriage isn’t perfect. It’s full of a few unseen 2020’s. But, it’s about the commitment to saying yes every single day even if the circumstances surrounding you aren’t perfect. …and even though Sarah & Scott’s plans may have changed, we think it turned out even more perfect than the original plan. These two are the real deal and they showed every bit of that during this season. We respect and appreciate them both! Enjoy all the beauty from their perfect day!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wilder Mansion Garden Wedding - Caitlin & Mark
It’s the perfect moment to relive this day as I sit inside on my computer avoiding this -3 day. Mark & Caitlin’s outdoor garden ceremony at the Wilder Mansion was pure joy, warmth, sunshine, and life this summer. …and this is just a taste of what’s to come for their larger celebration in 2021! It truly is a gift to get to have the loveliest couples for two years in a row despite the circumstances that has surrounded this past year. As much as we’re looking forward to this upcoming year, we’re also so thankful for Caitlin & Mark’s intimate wedding ceremony and getting to be there to capture their first look and “I do’s”. Everything about this day is filling us back up and gearing us up for more days like these. Caitlin & Mark, it was such a treat! Cannot wait to capture you both again with more of your loved ones by your side!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Wedding - Heather & Matthew
This a really special one for us. This fall, Jordan’s cousin Heather married her very best friend and Jordan got to capture all the love (Meg attended the ceremony with the kiddos!) We traveled down to Jordan’s home state and spent the week with the entire Imhoff side of the family in Baton Rouge. It was such a joy of a day. Heather is so dear to us. She lives and loves so big. She’s thoughtful, shares our love for Disney World (LOVE when we get to go there with her) and oozes Southern hospitality. And we cannot be more excited in getting to welcome Matt to our family! He is as equally kind, thoughtful, and such a keeper. This day is the antithesis of a gorgeous Southern Wedding at the Governor’s Mansion. Heather handled the accommodations for Covid rules with so much grace. Enjoy all the Southern inspiration & elegance along with cameos of our siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Autumn Chicago Elopement - Emily & Brandon
Emily and Brandon are two of the most lovely humans we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. These two had a wedding scheduled for April of 2020. They were the first couple we figured this all out with and I cannot begin to express how thankful we are to still get to work with them this upcoming year as they celebrate with more of their friends and loved ones. To say that they handled this last year in stride and grace is an understatement . We have SO MUCH respect for them. Their kindness and their communication as we just simply took last spring day by day. They decided on an intimate elopement this past fall and they tied the knot in Chicago surrounded by their very closest family members. It was beautiful. Their joy wasn’t squelched by the pandemic, and we’re beyond excited to get to keep them with us this upcoming year. For now, enjoy all the beauty and joy from their first wedding celebration!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Danada House Wedding - Marc & Kelsey
This wedding day was a Midwest Autumn dream. The leaves were a perfect orange and it was right before they all fell. Marc & Kelsey were cool, calm, and collected despite the rain that poured from beginning to end. These two are the most perfect example of how romantic and beautiful a rainy wedding day can be if you’re willing to embrace it! The Danada House is also a perfect example of how perfect a rainy day can be there. We used their awning and porch for almost all of their portraits and grabbed a few umbrellas for more by the trees. It was just perfect and such a dream to have gotten to spend it with these two kind souls. Their entire day was a joy and smooth sailing thanks to Bethany Moore Events.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Maxwell Mansion Wedding - Susie & Andrew
This truly was a treasure of a day! Susie & Andrew tied the knot on a blustery March day just a little over a year ago. They decided on an intimate ceremony and reception surrounded by their very closest loved ones at the fabulous Maxwell Mansion in the heart of Lake Geneva, WI. To quote the words from Susie: “Our officiant, Patrice, is a close family friend who has cut Susie's hair since age of 5. We call her aunt, and she exudes the spirit of Jesus in love, kindness, and charity. We couldn't think of anyone better to officiate our wedding.” It truly doesn’t get any sweeter than that. This day was meaningful from beginning to end. The Mansion was a perfect setting for their 1920’s Art Deco & Speak Easy vibes and there is inspiration from every inch of this day. It was such a joy to have been a part of this celebration and such an honor to work alongside the loveliest vendor friends. Thank you, Susie & Andrew, for the honor!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | North Shore Country Club Wedding - Kristin & Nate
I don’t think we’ll be able to get over this day for a long time. Nate & Kristin planned their beautiful North Shore Country Club wedding all the way from California so they could celebrate in Kristin’s childhood stomping grounds. We were so blessed to have gotten to be a part of this classically elegant and sophisticated wedding day. Nate & Kristin have the kindest and most endearing hearts. Every moment of the day was focused on their love for one another and their families. It was obvious where their kindness stems from after we met their loved ones. Their first look was one for the books, as they made a last minute location change and kept the day simple by opting for a first look and portraits at their beautiful venue so we could beat the rain. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and that rain can make a day even more special. This day is proof of that! To Nate & Kristin, we’re so beyond overjoyed to have been a part of your team. May your marriage forever be as lovely and beautiful as this day was. Thanks you for sending us home with hearts full.

And triple points for taking out the boat for a few more photos to end the night on.

Oh my goodness gracious. Where to even begin with Nick & Lorielle’s off the charts stunning, classic Chicago Wedding day?! When we met Nick & Lorielle, we knew these two would be a treat to get to spend the day with. They are adorable as individuals and even more adorable with one another. This day was beautifully planned by these love birds with the help and guidance of our girl, Carly from LOLA Events. There wasn’t a single detail that wasn’t meticulously or thoughtfully planned. Lorielle’s elegant, sophisticated, and clean style was a dream for our cameras. After their sweet and traditional ceremony, we ventured to their favorite skylines and Chicago Architecture along with their delightful family & friends. Their destinations and our favorite foggy Chicago weather did not disappoint as a backdrop for these cuties. This day was truly a joy and their wedding vibes/inspiration was off the charts romantic and Classic Chicago. …also, keep scrolling to see them tear up that dance floor!!! Their first dance was unforgettable! Truly, this team was a dream and this day was one for the books. Lorielle & Nick, what a pleasure and an honor it was to capture your love and celebration.

Eric & Sara wanted to leave Chicago for a laid back destination wedding in Wisconsin, and it was perfect.

Eric & Sara, thank you for the honor of getting to capture the love and beauty that surrounded your day from beginning to end!

The leaves had just graced the trees for the season and The Grand Geneva Resort & Spa was in full bloom. These two and their outdoor ceremony were such a treat. Also, it’s always a joy getting to work alongside our all time favorite Lake Geneva vendors. Eric & Sara, thank you for the honor of getting to capture the love and beauty that surrounded your day from beginning to end!
Three Cheers for the fabulous team who made Eric & Sarah’s Grand Geneva wedding day as laid back and beautiful as the couple themselves!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Gabe & Tiffany - Chicago Engagement Session
Winter Engagement Sessions in Chicago are stunning if you are willing to brave the wind and chill! …especially Lakeside. Tiffany and Gabe worked hard and it was so very worth it! That golden sunset combined with the frosty fog is magic that’s hard to replicate any other time of the year.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago History Museum Wedding - Jeff & Lindsey
What a treat it was to spend the day with this classy crew! Lindsey & Jeff’s November wedding day at the Chicago History Museum was out of a dream. From their dreamy First Look at the Wrigley Building during golden hour to the incredible details and florals that covered their ceremony and reception from top to bottom: this day was as lovely as Classic Chicago weddings come! And let’s not forget to mention Lindsey’s gorgeous Calla Blanche gown, ok?! These two were head over heels during their first look and it’s so obvious, it’s hard not to smile. If you’re looking for inspiration for your own Classic Chicago Wedding, then look no further! This day is one for the books!
