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.

They Miss Chicago! Pearl + Shawn’s Engagement Photos!

It All Started in Chicago

Pearl + Shawn met each other and started dating while in Chicago! They both currently live in Korea and they will be married this weekend! They wanted to have their engagement photos in Chicago…where it all started!

They wanted to include ‘The Bean’ and Millennium Park in their engagement photos as they spend a lot of time here when they were dating!
