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.

Makoto & Grace’s Wedding!

I’ve known Makoto for a long time. We grew up at the same church, went to the same high school and college, and served together on numerous occasions. I’m so thankful to have a friend like Makoto, someone who you can be yourself around, knowing that you are going to be there for each other when the need arises. And though I’ve known Makoto for such a long time, I can honestly say, I have never seen him smile as much as he does when Grace is around. She brings out a side of him I rarely see.

I loved all the details of their wedding. Starting with the Independence Grove in Libertyville, IL to the colors of the dresses and suits, Grace really knew what it takes to put together a beautiful day.

Thanks to Alex Roy for coming out to second shoot-

What an amazing day! The rain clouds went away, the sun came out, and everything was just gorgeous! Congrats again and thanks for the privilege to be apart of your special day!

with love,

Kenny Nakai
