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.

 

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

Maddie and John had a beautiful day for their Chicago Museum Campus engagement photos! The skyline was picture perfect! If were looking to book a Chicago engagement photographer…send us a message!

We also caught the setting sun with a few Chicago rooftop engagement photos!

The late afternoon sun is one of our favorite times to take pictures! Everything feels so three dimensional!

Chicago Museum Campus engagement photos really showcase our city’s amazing architecture!

Maddie wore the perfect color to ‘pop’ in all the photos!

Love all the layers in this photo…the foreground trees framing the Willis Tower, the wooden slab cutting across the middle of the photo…and their kiss perfectly balanced with the Willis Tower! Also…that kiss of sunlight!

Chicago Rooftop Engagement Photos

What a view! We never pass up an opportunity to take rooftop engagement photos!

Here in Chicago, we don’t get to see the ‘sun setting over the horizon’ like you can in other places. But getting up high allows you to see the sun set!

Looking forward to your wedding next year Maddie + John! Thanks for having me as your Chicago engagement photographer!

with love,
