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.

Morgan MFG Wedding Teaser Photos // Jason + Chase!

Luxury Same Sex Chicago Wedding Photos // Morgan Manufacturing

Jason + Chase are probably still talking with loved ones as their wedding reception has just ended!!! I’m up late to post these wedding sneak peeks before I go to bed!

Though it rained in the late afternoon/early evening on their wedding day, they were rewarded with a double rainbow appearing just after their wedding ceremony! We scrambled up to the roof top of Morgan MFG to capture this EPIC photo of a double rainbow over the newlyweds! Not only is this one of my favorite pictures of the day…it might be one of my favorites of the YEAR!

Shout out to Ginny from Wrap It Up Parties for coordinating this all-star team of wedding professionals! Thank you to my former clients Will + Todd and Jae Heller for referring me to this amazing couple! I appreciate the support!!!
