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.

Felice + Michael’s Engagement Session!

Art Institute of Chicago Engagement Photos!

Can’t wait until Felice + Michael’s wedding this upcoming New Year’s Eve! With Hope Weis coordinating everything, I know it’s going to be one memorable night! We started their engagement session photos at the Chicago Art Institute’s garden. It’s a beautiful green space tucked away right next to the building!

I LOVE the color of Felice’s dress with the green space! The perfect ‘pop’ of color! And of course, as an engagement photographer, I love the reflection off the water!
