As a Chicago wedding photographer, I’m lucky enough to document some of the city's most beautiful love stories.

 

I hope you find inspiration here and connect with the feelings I had when I created each photo.

Hi, I'm Kenny Nakai.

 

As a Chicago wedding photographer, I’m lucky enough to document some of the city's most beautiful love stories.

 

Welcome to my Chicago wedding blog, where I share my latest work and the deeper stories behind the photos. I hope you find inspiration here and connect with the feelings I had when I created each one.

Millennium Park Engagement Photography with Elyse & David!

Elyse lives in the West Loop and David is a new resident to the South Loop…so we decided to meet at a neutral Chicago location: Millennium Park. Like most of my clients- they were a bit ‘nervous’ about the photoshoot. But as soon as we started, it was obvious- they were FINE! They kept each other laughing making my job of taking photos that much easier!

Elyse and I have been friends for a long time now, and it was a blessing to see her with David as they shared a little bit of their love story with me. You can see it in their eyes when they talk, laugh and poke each other…that there is some obvious chemistry there- =)

I hope these photos capture that connection – enjoy!

It tends to be a little crowded at Millennium Park on the weekends, so we found a more secluded area where they could be more comfortable-

I love their expressions and the energy in the moment.

Millennium Park has a wonderful garden showcasing various flowers in bloom-

And as usual, we went a couple blocks from Millennium Park to an alley and had some fun taking some photos away from the touristy scenes…

Millennium Park also has a really cool water fountain right on Michigan Avenue-

Capturing a reflection in the photo-

Thanks you guys for really opening up! And to think…you were worried about how the photos would turn out! =) Can’t wait til the wedding!

with love,

Kenny
