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.

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.

A CHICAGO WEDDING BLOG - NAKAI Photography

Mike & Amanda’s eSession!

Mike and Amanda will be tying the knot next month…and it was really cool to hang out with them and get to know them better. Seeing as they are such kind and caring people it does not surprise me to hear that they met while serving others…but perhaps I’ll expand on that when I post about their wedding.

So we headed out to the Chicago Botanic Gardens for their photoshoot. Seeing as these two have looked over every blog image I’ve ever posted, I felt an extra challenge to come up with some new stuff for these two.

As you can see from these images, they were a bunch of fun to be around and are great at making each other laugh. There are so many goofy/fun images that I had to cut some out! Anyways, here are a select few from our shoot together.

This is a different way to process an image…this is the first time I’ve actually posted one like this…let me know if you like it or don’t like it. =)

This is my favorite image from the day…

If you are a regular follower of my blog…you’ll have noticed something during my recent engagement sessions. It’s a set of three images put together in a collage. I call these my ‘photobooth’ shots. It gives people an opportunity to just make faces and have fun pretending that I’m not even present. Here are Mike and Amanda’s photobooth shots-

Thanks you guys! I had a great time and am looking forward to seeing you both again! Praise the Lord for your testimonies and His faithfulness to both of you-

by His grace,

Kenny
