As a wedding photographer, I’m so thankful to have amazing clients who place such a high value on their wedding photography! Katrina + John love Chicago architecture, and wanted to incorporate it into their wedding pictures! This was one of my favorites from their wedding day…and it was one of the last photos taken! You can see TheWit Hotel in the background (along with the Chicago marquee and Marina Towers)!

This is where the bride and groom had their first look. Not a bad view. =) TheWit has a lounge called ROOF at TheWit and as you can imagine, it has a gorgeous rooftop view of the city!

Margaret + Tobi’s Engagement Photos!

Chicago Engagement Photography – St Ignatius – Riverwalk

Margaret + Tobi met at St Ignatius, a gorgeous school in Chicago! It was only fitting that they returned for a few engagement photos!

If you are like me, you’ve never stepped foot on the St Ignatius campus and have no idea how beautiful it is! One of my favorite job perks as a Chicago engagement photographer: seeing different parts of the city!
