Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | W Hotel City Center Chicago Wedding - Nick & Lorielle
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. If this is just the beginning, then we can’t even imagine where your love will take you in this lifetime!

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

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Rockford Bank & Trust Pavilion Wedding - Thad & Kim
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!
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 | The Abbey Lake Geneva Wedding - Tyler & Mollie
I’m not sure there is anything more dreamy than a fall wedding on Lake Geneva. Mollie & Tyler flew all the way from Seattle to join their family and friends for one incredible destination wedding at The Abbey Resort. These two did all their planning from across the country. 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.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Rolling Green Country Club Wedding - Matt & Meghan
From the moment we met Matt and Meghan months and months before their wedding day, we just completely clicked. It was such a joy to be a part of this day from the moment it began until the moment it ended. These two are one in a million. The smiles were constant and easy. They were so naturally calm, laid back, and just ready to be married. Their families and friends were as equally delightful. The sun glowed as beautifully as these two did. We’re crazy over this day and I’m so excited to finally share some of our favorite moments from it.

- Watching Meghan’s beautiful momma help her get ready and seeing her daughter in her dress.
- The way Matt looked at Meghan all day from the moment he saw her walk down the aisle.
- The beautiful song Meghan’s brother sang for the two of them before dinner.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Marriott Lincolnshire Wedding - Trevor & Tara
As I sit here watching the rain pour outside, I can’t help but feel all cozy and warm as I relive Tara & Trevor’s warm September wedding at the Marriott Lincolnshire. These two were such a joy to capture from beginning to end. 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! …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!

After spending the day with their entire bridal party and family, it’s easy to see that Tara & Trevor are so LOVED. …they’re very easy to love! We always enjoy getting to capture a wedding day at the Marriott Lincolnshire. There is so much to be said for an all inclusive venue where you can spend the day free of stress and travel. 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! Keeping things simple, like locations, can be a LIFESAVER! 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! We loved this day, this couple, the wonderful guys over at Oakhouse Wedding Films, and the joy these two had for each other all day. …make sure you keep a lookout below for their beautiful lei exchange at their outdoor ceremony.

I think more couples need to have morning brunch weddings. Because nothing says “I love you” more than celebrating over heaping plates of Chicken N’ Waffles and Southern Shrimp & Grits! I’m mean, Come On! Everything about this Danada House wedding day was as warm, cheerful, meaningful, and as beautiful as Scott & Courtney are on the inside & out.

I’m mean, Come On! Everything about this Danada House wedding day was as warm, cheerful, meaningful, and as beautiful as Scott & Courtney are on the inside & out. Elegant and comfortable. Romanic and playful. Luminous and warm. Everything the Danada House and these two love birds embody. Did we mention the Chicken N’ Waffles? I think so. I just can’t get them off my brain. Also, I think everyone simply has more energy on the dance floor when the sun is still out. At least, it was true for this incredible group. …and we cannot help but celebrate natural light from beginning till end of this day! Courtney & Scott, it was an honor to get to capture all the love and beauty. This is one of our most favorite days to relive and we’re blessed to have been witnesses!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Grand Geneva Wedding - Charlie & Lianna
Charlie and Lianna said “I do” on the first of September at St. Andrew’s Parish in Delavan, Wi followed by the most elegant and luxurious reception at the mountain top chalet at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. Every square inch of this day was surrounded by the most lush floral displays by Lilypots. (Their floral chandelier at the Grand Geneva is a MUST see!) Lianna & Charlie’s guests lounged on luxurious velvet chairs, including their insanely romantic sweetheart table by Forever Birdy and floral backdrop by Lilypots. The Yerkes Observatory made for a grand backdrop for their portraits! Lianna & Charlie, what an honor and a joy it was to capture your day. Your love for one another was contagious and we still cannot get over your beautiful first dance. (It was AMAZING! Go and see for yourself!)

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Patrick Haley Mansion Wedding - Kyle & Ashley
It was such an honor to capture these two who so naturally laughed, and played the whole day long. Even when we were in a race against the late August rain, these two were calm, cool, and all smiles. This classic Estate wedding was so light hearted and so fun that we couldn’t help but feel all filled up inside. Truly, two of the kindest and warmest souls. Their gorgeous color scheme was inspired by the classic beauty of the Patrick C Haley Mansion and highlighted with the gorgeous florals created by Petal Play Designs. Whites, creams, champagnes, golds, and fresh greens. Everything that makes our heats twitterpated. We’ll always remember this day. All the love, joy, sweet glances between Ashley & Kyle, …and last but not least, that dance floor! You’ve go to love a groom who does the worm on his wedding day!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Grand Geneva Resort Wedding - Sam & Lara
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!)

I also love how Busse Woods can be shoot in about a thousand different ways.

It's no secret that Jessica has the most beautiful and contagious smile. We quickly found that out after their Lincoln Park engagement session and her joy and laughter was even more contagious on her wedding day.
It's no secret that Jessica has the most beautiful and contagious smile. 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.
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.
