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.

Madison Engagement: Allen Centennial Garden + Tenney Park

Allen Centennial Garden Engagement Photos

We headed up to Wisconsin for our first photoshoot in Madison for Ilana + Yonatan! Before their Tenney Park engagement photos, we started their session on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus! Nestled between dorm halls and research laboratories was this cute little garden space! Though we are located in Chicago, if you know anyone looking for an engagement or proposal photographer – contact us!

Beautiful plants, vines, and flowers were everywhere!

Tenney Park Engagement Photos

We finished their session with a few photos along the lake! Though it had been cloudy all day, the sun began to peek through for their pictures!

This is one thing we don’t see in Chicago…a setting sun over the horizon!
