It’s all thanks to Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School that I met Bridget! We both went to school there, and it’s a small south side world, because Bridget was recommended to me from a fellow Mighty Mac!

  After one engagement session, mid-pandemic elopement, and an anniversary session, it was FINALLY Mary and Noah’s wedding day!!

Julia and Kevin’s “Dia De Los Muertos” inspired wedding was on a rainy late October day. Yet the last thing anyone was focusing on was the weather (which never let up all day) because the excitement in the air was palpable!

This sunflower session had me smiling from the minute I got there, to writing this blog post.

You know those friends who are always upbeat and make you happy when you’re around them? Well that’s Kate.

When the pandemic hit, Adam and Allison took the new restrictions in stride. This meant a new location at The Orrmont Estate in Piqua, Ohio instead of downtown Chicago. And it was absolutely meant to be.

There was a huge storm brewing on the day of Claire and Luke’s engagement session. We agreed to push our meeting time up an hour, and we smashed out their session right before the storm hit!

Kelsey and Matthew were wonderful to photograph, from their engagement session, to their wedding at St. Joe Farm.

From our first email exchange, Emily and I hit it off right away! We both went to the same high school, and it always makes me happy when I can re-connect with McAuley girls!

You know when you meet someone and have an immediate connection with them? That’s how I felt the minute I met Paulina and Andre over Zoom!
