Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wedding at The Pavilion Orchard Ridge Farms - Kristen & Chase
We started the day at The Goodwin Hotel and Iron Works Hotel for their getting ready photos. (Brides, if you’re looking for the most photogenic getting ready space for your wedding day, look no further than the Goodwin Hotel! We cannot get over how beautiful their space is. …with the most PERFECT rooftop for your first look.) Afterwards, we headed over to The Pavilion for their ceremony and reception…
We have been looking forward to this day for years! Literally! It’s been such a treat to get to work with Kristen and Chase ever since we met them during our first meeting. We know there has been great disappointment for our couples and their postponements, but getting to see everyone reunited this year and throwing the wedding day they’ve been dreaming of has been such a blast! These two were able to pull out all the stops and it truly was the dreamiest of days. We started the day at The Goodwin Hotel and Iron Works Hotel for their getting ready photos.

Truly, this venue is one of our absolute favorites. Kristen and Chase may have had one of the hottest and humid days of the year, but they were such troopers and we’d say beating the heat was well worth it for The Pavilion’s views. We’re truly sad that this day is over, but we’re so thankful for these two and the gift of getting to work with them over these past couple of years. Kristen & Chase, may you have a marriage that’s as beautiful as your wedding day! It’s been such a delight to get to know you and we’re so honored to have been a part of your wedding day team.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Haley Mansion Wedding - Mary & Steve
We are the biggest fans of The Haley Mansion, but add the most joyful bride and her wonderful crew and it’s a recipe for perfection. Mary and Steve’s color scheme were a treat to capture! We’ll forever be fans of blushes, whites, and creams! Even her cutting cake and macaroons by Millett’s Cakes, bridesmaid dresses, and florals by Steen perfectly complimented one another!
This day was full of LIFE and SO MUCH BEAUTY! Mary and Steve tied the knot on July 3rd, 2021 and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day. This was a postponed wedding, but we think every single bit of it was worth the wait!

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 | Autumn Wedding at The Grand Geneva - Kaitlyn and Jake
We knew before it even started that this day was going to be as close to perfect as it gets. It’s like the entire state of Wisconsin was glowing and showing off just for these two on their wedding day. This happened to be our one and only full wedding day due to covid this year. I’m thrilled for these two and the perfect date they choose to say “I do” with as many friends and family members that were able to celebrate.
I think we would relive this day over and over if we could. I remember when we were driving through Kaitlyn’s neighborhood on our way for getting ready pictures and feeling sheer excitement as we noted how perfect the colors were on the trees.

Kaitlyn’s Jenny Yoo gown was jaw dropping. It swayed and flowed so prfectly in those golden reeds. Kaitlyn & Jake’s portraits might be some of our all time favorites in the Lake Geneva area. …golden hour in Autumn is magical. We loved every bit of this day. The locations, the people, the venue; it’s days like this that never feel like work. Kaitlyn & Jake, thank you so much for the honor of getting to be a part of this dream day. We’re so thankful to have been a part of your team. May your marriage be as beautiful as the two of you were on October 24th, 2020.

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.

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!!!

If you’ve ever been in that situation, you know how hard it is to nail down all those details from afar, but this day couldn’t have come together more beautifully. Their whites, creams, and greenery paired so romantically with the changing leaves and Autumn light. What a treat of a day to capture. And it’s true. West Coasters are truly as laid back and go with the flow as they say : ) Mollie & Tyler, thank you for the honor of allowing us to capture such a sweet and elegant destination wedding at one of our favorite places of all time.

So, future brides, take notes from our girl, Tara! …make sure you keep a lookout for their beautiful lei exchange at their outdoor ceremony. They lived in Hawaii for a while before coming back to their original homes and incorporated that part of their journey into their beautiful ceremony!

From getting ready, to fist look, to ceremony, to reception: everything is just right outside your doorstep. This setup was incredible and the their team was on point. …not only did they have everything all in one location, but they also had a planner who was on top of the small details. Brides, if you’re considering having a wedding planner or a day of coordinator, we promise that will be something that you will NOT regret it! After capturing days like this, I love the harp on how Stress -Free your wedding day can be if you plan for it from the very beginning! So, future brides, take notes from our girl, Tara!

And , ultimately, the less you travel on your wedding day, the more you can enjoy genuine & natural photo time, time with your friends and loved ones, and even time to stop and enjoy a cocktail for the entirety of your cocktail hour! Yes, it can be done!

Sam & Lara have a story that makes us as warm and fuzzy as their Grand Geneva wedding day. The warm summer glow combined with the brilliant and lush florals by Frontier Flowers of Fontana made for a perfect Lake Side Wisconsin ceremony. The girl who moved in next door finally became Mrs. Zuidema and it was such an honor to capture everything they had been waiting for finally coming to fruition! Thank you for the privilege of getting to be a part of your team, Lara & Sam!
Sam & Lara have a story that makes us as warm and fuzzy as their Grand Geneva wedding day. Lara moved in next door to Sam when they were just kids. They grew up together. Their families were dear friends, their siblings became good friends, and eventually Sam & Lara became more than just friends. Sam was dedicated to finishing Law School before starting this next season of life. Their patience and hard work were well worth it as we captured everything they waited for come to fruition on this day. These two are as kind and warm as their Midwestern August Wedding. Lara’s smile and laughter are contagious. The way Sam looked at her as she came down the aisle was everything. The warm summer glow combined with the brilliant and lush florals by Frontier Flowers of Fontana made for a perfect Lake Side Wisconsin ceremony. (AND that cross! Just breath taking!)

We quickly found that out after their Lincoln Park engagement session and her joy and laughter was even more contagious on her wedding day. After spending some time with Joe & Jessica, it doesn't take too long to see why they are a match made in heaven. Both are kind, steady, confident, and quick to smile. Joe has the most comfortable, confident quietness that makes it so easy to just be yourself with him. Jessica is bubbly, sweet, full of energy, and one organized bride. They're just one of those couples who are so natural and effortless complimentary to one another. Their day at the Makray Memorial Golf Club goes down, thus far, as the hottest summer day we've had yet. Reaching about 98 degrees and full on humidity. In looking back on their day, you'd never know in a million years! These two are amazing humans and we are beyond honored to have gotten to know them.

Where to begin with Matt & Bailey? Besides the fact that these two are the very definition of #couplegoals, they're also kind and hilarious. Last year, while we were getting ready for their Lincoln Park engagement session, we asked them if they were still on for it if it was raining. ...to which Bailey replied: "Yeah we're still on! We're not made of sugar. Let's do it!" Dang, we just love her! Every wedding photog's dream bride. And it's a good thing they aren't made of sugar because they would have melted on their 97 degree outdoor wedding day! We also just loved the way they so openly, affectionately, and sweetly love each other. Matt & Bailey’s first look was one for the books. After we captured them having those first moments together, we stepped away to track down Matt’s boutonnière for portraits. ...and when we came back, Matt didn’t think we could see him. Well, we could. And we caught those tears. And our hearts were melting. Ladies, marry a man who believes that you hung the moon just like Bailey.

From the moment we met up with Rachel this weekend, we knew this day was going to be the sweetest. We hadn't had the chance to meet in person with Rachel & Pat, as they had been planning their wedding from out of state, but we felt like friends instantly after we knocked on the door of her childhood home. Their families represent everything we love about down-to-earth Midwestern families and hospitality. Pat & Rachel were a dream. Kind, smart, light hearted, and so sweet with one another. Their wedding day happened to have a high of 97 degrees and even though their portraits happened to line up with the hottest part of the day, they were still all smiles. Their bridal party was a joy to capture and we couldn't have felt luckier. We left with our hearts full after getting to spend the day with these two and their incredible tribe. Thank you Pat & Rachel, for letting us be the ones to capture this incredible day!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Midlothian Country Club Wedding - Ryan & Natalie
FInd someone who looks at you the same way Ryan looked at Natalie on their wedding day. When Ryan saw Natalie walk down that aisle, the tears and smiles were contagious. These two were adorable together. If every married couple had as much fun together as these two do, the world would be a much happier place. Seriously, even when they were being eaten alive by mosquitos during portrait time, they were all smiles. And I have NEVER seen that many mosquitos. Their classic wedding day had a hint of a modern twist with the prettiest combination of metallics, a bit of sparkle, and just the right amount of whites and pastels. And their first dance gives us all the heart eyes. It's a must see! Three cheers to the incredible staff at the Midlothian Country Club for making their big day come together so beautifully! And thank you Natalie & Ryan for being so darn cute and for giving us the honor of capturing such a sweet celebration!
