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.

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.

UIC Chicago Medical District Engagement Photography – Damaris & Dennis!

Damaris & Dennis were a pretty funny couple together. I think you can see a bit of their personality and relational dynamics in the photos. The leaves were changing colors to yellow in the last days of fall. And while it was a bit cold, the warm sunlight helped bring out the warmth in the imagery-

This first image was my favorite…I love geometric shapes combined with the fall leaves.




What a fun moment! I didn’t even tell them to do this!

When in Chicago, gotta take advantage of the gorgeous skyline when possible. =)

This park was pretty awesome. I didn’t even know about it even though I’ve spent some time on the UIC campus.

Again, I didn’t pose them in this way…it just happened…I just have that Titanic scene replaying in my head when I look at this-

All of a sudden, they pulled out the attitude. =)

I love the way she is looking at him- love is written all over eyes-


Thanks you for an awesome time in Chicago! Thanks for walking me around the UIC Medical District! I can’t wait for your wedding this upcoming year! May the Lord continue to be with you both as you prepare for your commitment to one another!

with Love,

Kenny Nakai
