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.

PreWedding Photos at North Ave + Riverwalk

Chicago Prewedding Photos at North Avenue Beach + The Riverwalk

These two decided to have some of their wedding photos around Chicago before their actual wedding day…it helped make the schedule on their actual wedding day a little easier!

We headed out to North Avenue Beach for a few photos with the Chicago skyline! In this first photo, I love how the wind just blew her hair and dress in the most perfect way!

She’s a tango dancer – so we made sure to incorporate one her poses with the most perfect Chicago skyline view!

Riverwalk Chicago Wedding Pictures

We finished up their prewedding session downtown along the riverwalk! The Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower are classic examples of Chicago architecture, and we wanted to incorporate them into their photos!

As a wedding photographer, I have to work with the lighting conditions on the day of the shoot…here I found the most amazing drop off of light- the shadow on the left hand side and the sun on the right!

with love,
