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

Last Minute Holiday Card Promotion at my NEW studio!

I’m so excited! My first ever family portrait promotion!

Last Minute Holiday Photos!a limited promotion by Nakai Photography

So yesterday…I picked up the keys to my new studio in Chicago! Nakai Photography is now in Lincoln Park! I am super excited about this new endeavor…and to kick it off, I had a photoshoot with the Frank & Julie’s family! I have been photographing them since 2007- you can see a previous photoshoot from this past summer here. So it’s only fitting that the Frank & Julie are the first family I photograph in my new studio!

This studio is so fresh that I literally don’t have anything in this new space yet. It’s a warehouse loft…and it’s HUGE! I’m sharing the space with Vale of Enna (floral designer) – though we occasionally work together on weddings, we were friends back in junior high school! I’ll share more about the new studio space in future posts…but I wanted to throw this out there to all the families, couples and dog owners:

Anyways, back to Frank and Julie- here are some more portraits from our session together! I love this picture of all the kids together!

Then some photos of each kid by themselves, I think some of them believe the candy cane is a martial arts weapon-

I love this photo collage of the kids-

And a “Nakai Photography” portrait of Frank & Julie!

Thanks you guys for a great time and for being apart of this new chapter of Nakai Photography! I hope it was worth the drive from the ‘burbs to Chicago!
