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

Junebug Weddings “Best of 2010 – That’s Heartbreaking!”

I love the ladies over at Junebug! Junebug is a fabulous wedding blog showcasing style and fashion tips for brides! It is really popular on the west coast, and it is growing in popularity here in the midwest. Junebug also has a Photobug blog – it is a blog dedicated to the best wedding photography and wedding photographers in the industry. Make no mistake, there are many wedding blogs out there…but only a handful have the real deal…ridiculously talented wedding photographers in one collection. I am humbled and honored to be listed as one of the wedding photographers for Illinois on their elite list.

A few days ago, one of my wedding photos from Sharon & Larry’s wedding was featured on Junebug’s “Best of 2010 – That’s Heartbreaking” blog post! Sharon was getting ready at Chicago’s own Sonia Roselli Esthetique in Roger’s Park. I still remember the moment and I am so glad to see the Junebug editors saw and felt the emotions through the photo. It is amazing the range of emotions a woman expresses when she puts on her wedding dress, and I can only begin to imagine the emotions Sharon must have felt.

So feel free to check out the blog post featuring Junebug’s Best of 2010 – That’s Heartbreaking! to find my image! I also want to give a shout out to my friend Kenny Kim who also had a photo featured in the same blog post!

For those that don’t want to click on over, here’s a screenshot of my photo. I am also including a photo by Jerry Ghionis right above mine. And in case you were wondering, Jerry Ghionis is one of the best wedding photographers in the world…it’s ridiculous to have my photo under his. It’s kind of like playing on the same basketball court with All-Stars basketball players. =)

Kenny
