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!

Backyard After Party…
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.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Wedding at The Glen Club - Hajar and Eric
There was nothing that could stop Eric and Hajar from saying “I do” on September 12th, 2020. Between a postponement due to Covid, a Venue change, and rain all day on their new wedding date, they most certainly had their hands full. However, not even the rain could keep them from their glorious outdoor ceremony with their closest family and friends at the Glen Club.
There was nothing 2020 could throw at Hajar and Eric that could stop them from saying “I do”. Between a postponement due to Covid, a Venue change, and rain all day on their new wedding date, they most certainly had their hands full. However, not even the rain could keep them from their glorious outdoor ceremony with their closest family and friends at the Glen Club. This day was all about what really and truly matters. It brought us back to what a wedding truly means. Its ALL about the bride, groom, and what they want most. Those last few minutes leading up to their long anticipated first look and then that walk down the aisle were beautiful. We love the emotion and heart that Eric and Hajar’s day was filled with. NOTHING stops love, friends. …and not only was every moment meaningful, but it was absolutely gorgeous to capture. Special thanks to the outstanding ladies of Exquisite Events & Floral design who kept us all on time and laughing throughout the day! Every part of this celebration was a treat!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Backyard Wedding - Becca & Peter
It’s official. We are head over heels for intimate backyard weddings. Becca & Peter are incredible. There was nothing that was going to stop these two from getting married and the joy was more beautiful than words can describe. Nothing can stop true love, friends. It was such a treat to capture these two beautiful souls and their closest family members and friends. And does it get any more meaningful than saying “I do” in your very own backyard?! I know this day was not what they were envisioning a year ago. It was better. And I cannot wait to still capture and celebrate their big reception and celebration with the entirety of their family and friends. Becca and Peter, thank you for the honor of getting to be a part of this perfect day. You two are the real deal. And we can’t wait to continue this party later on!
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.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Geneva National Wedding - Dan & Mica
What an absolute delight and joy of a day to relive all over again. It was the dose of sunshine, vitamin D, and joy that I needed on Quarantine Day 467. That bright sunshine, yellows and soft blues, an insanely fun bridal party, and such a kind and fun loving couples left us with hearts full. Dan and Mica are the real deal. Not only was it a treat to just get to be with them all day, but it was also a treat to capture their authenticity. Every part of the day was centered on enjoying their loved ones, dear friends, and each other. They are DEEPLY loved and it was so easy to see why. Every part of the day, beginning to end, took place in one of our all time favorite places in this area. Geneva National is a treasure. We’re so thankful for the gift it was to capture this day and we’re so excited to finally share more!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Dominican University Wedding - Kerry & John
I remember our very first meeting with Kerry & John like it was yesterday. Kerry had a vision and a plan for her wedding day that made us clap and jump up and down and get so excited we were ready to capture it then and there. It wasn’t necessarily her vision in the lush florals and color scheme (don’t get me wrong, I was swooning over that too) but, it was her passion for her family and the way she wanted to honor her beautiful parents and give so much meaning, tradition, and sacredness to their first look and ceremony. That is why they had chosen the gorgeous Rosary Chapel at Dominican University to begin their marriage story. Kerry’s parents were also married in this chapel and it was so important for Kerry to honor that tradition for their own beginning. Kerry & John’s first look and portraits were also captured in the exact locations where her parents’ photos were captured as well. It was such a meaningful tradition and a complete honor to have captured these two beautiful souls there where it all started. Can we also just tip our hats to the gorgeous and such florals by Avant Gardenia and celebrate the gorgeous space at the Westin O’Hare?! Their staff was such a treat to work alongside and we couldn’t sing higher praise.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Independence Grove Wedding - Richard & Molly
This day was exactly what I needed to relive on this cold and grey January day. As I relived all of these moments from Molly & Richard’s summer wedding at Independence Grove in Libertyville, I could feel the warm breeze and sunshine on my skin. This day was heaven on earth. If what you give out truly comes back to you someday, then these two have a whole lot of goodness coming their way. Truly two of the warmest, kindest, joy-filled people we’ve ever had the gift of coming across.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers - Ryan & Erin | The Haight
As I relived this glorious wedding day at The Haight in downtown Elgin, IL, I cannot help but remember the steam that was literally rising off the pavement as we parked our car and began to settle our gear. It was one of those days where our lenses would fog if we went back and forth between outdoors and the air conditioning. If you are a fellow Wedding Photog, I know you get what we mean. But, despite the intense heat, I cannot help but smile as I remember this beautiful bride. Erin is as lovely as they come. Like one of those brides who you can’t help but need to pinch yourself because they chose you. She was joyful, calm, and filled with love for every human who was a part of this beautiful day. And her fireman, Ryan was equally as lovely! It was such a treat to personalize their portraits with a stop at the old Elgin Fire Station. These two were surrounded by pure love, celebration, and laughter from begging to end. We are over the moon for these two and their day. And we’ve found a new local venue to whom we cannot sing higher praise. Thank you to the lovely staff at The Haight for making it such a pleasure as well! Erin & Ryan, you two are incredible and we hope your lifetime is filled with as much fun as your wedding day!

Every moment of the day was planned with so much intention and honor towards their story, loved ones, and family.

The joy and laughter filled us to the brim and it’s even a blessing to have relived this day to share with you all today. Their lakeside ceremony and tented reception was equally beautiful, elegant, and relaxed. Lawn games filled the grounds and the sweetest littles filled the resort running, playing, and enjoying every moment with their families. It just doesn’t get any more delightful than this. Kristen & Geoff, your family is beautiful and we’re so thankful to have gotten to capture it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Loft Lucia Chicago Wedding - Tim & Caitlin
Tim & Caitlin are absolutely perfect for each other. They are kind, soft spoken, thoughtful, and so beautifully organized and calm. As we walked into their hotel to start the day, the rain drops started to fall. Rain is never a problem if you’re up for it, but when we got upstairs, Caitlin already have a variety of rain options on her favorites list. Honestly, in this case, the rain worked out for the best! Her florals and colors paired perfectly with the tropical greens of the Lincoln Park Conservatory and the beautiful Presbyterian Church on Michigan Avenue. (We LOVE the city for its rain options.) Caitlin’s color palette of bright and pale pinks were such a treat! …especially captured in the green house! Flowers for Dreams never disappoint with their lush bouquets and ceremony awnings! Also, we may have fallen in love with a city venue that we had never captured until this year! Loft Lucia for the WIN! It’s intimate and the rooftop cocktail hour terrace makes for the loveliest end of the night sparkler send off photos! This day was beautifully planned between Caitlin, Tim, and Bethany Moore Events (massive shoutout for this team!) Reliving this day gave me the warm fuzzies

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

The most perfect spring wedding day. The trees were showing off and in full bloom for Kim & Thad’s Rockford wedding. They were almost as beautiful and lovely as Kim. What a joy of a day to get to be a part of! We have a new found love for early spring weddings after this year. What truly made this day was the sweetness of these two and their families and friends. Kim is one of those people who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. There are certain weddings that make me feel happy and peaceful as I relive it for our blog and this is one of them. Days surrounded by kind families, kind vendors, classic elegance, and a well planned timeline are our version of heaven. Kim’s natural color palette were a treat for our cameras. Creams, greens, and touches of natural lavender made us swoon. And let’s not even get us started on how much we adore shooting at the Rockford Bank & Trust Pavilion. Perfection. Absolute perfection. Kim & Thad, you guys are a dream. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for entrusting this incredible celebration with us!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Independence Grove Wedding - Jose & Magdalena
If I could hand pick a wedding to kickstart our entire 2019 Wedding Season, it would have been this one. We’re so thankful to have come out of our winter hibernation to the loveliness of this Spring wedding at Independence Grove in Libertyville, IL. The leaves and buds had just started to pop this weekend and these two love birds were blessed with the first warm day of the year. Jose and Maggie were an absolute joy to capture and I cannot help but smile as I go through this day all over again. Maggie’s color palette and details were glorious. Whites, ivories, and lots of greens. Her gown, makeup, and hair by Patty McGuire were perfection. Elegant simplicity will never go out of style. Also, we love getting to spend a day on the grounds of Independence Grove in Libertyville, IL and working alongside their incredible staff. The smiles, laughs, and joy from this wedding left us with hearts full. Maggie & Jose, thank you for the honor of getting to capture you and your loved ones! You guys are breathtaking.

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!
