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.

Lake Forest Wedding Teaser Photos // Anna + Alex

Lake Forest, IL Wedding Photos! Market Square Downtown + Knollwood Club

Anna + Alex have probably just finished their afterparty from their wedding earlier today! I’m excited to share these three teaser photos from their wedding day! So thankful the rain stayed away for our photo session in downtown Lake Forest, IL! There is so much to share and say about this wonderful couple, but after a 12 hr wedding day, I need to get some rest!

Shout out to Juliana and Randy from Knollwood Club for making the day and evening flow so smoothly! Your staff is so friendly and welcoming too!

Anna looked stunning in her wedding dress! When she walked, it looked like she was floating on air!

And one last photo taken on the golf course at the Knollwood Club. Love how peaceful and serene this photo feels! Photographer’s Tip: Symmetry is a strong compositional tool. Even the white chairs add just the perfect detail!
