Anna & Deven | Second First & Hoffman House


Wedding party and bride and groom formal photos in Sinnissippi in front of Nicholas conservatory near downtown Rockford on the Rock River.

Anna and Deven wed inside the beautiful sanctuary at Second First Church in downtown Rockford, IL in the presence of their friends and loved ones. After their ceremony, we walked a little around downtown and got some fun urban style photos with the wedding party before heading over to Nicholas Conservatory and Sinnissippi for more fun wedding party and bride and groom photos. It was a perfect October day - amazing autumn weather and beautiful colors! After photos, Anna and Deven and their friends went over to Hoffman House where great food, awesome music, and fun times were had by all.

Congratulations Anna and Deven, Illinois misses you already!

Katie and Dan | Lincoln Park Engagement

I got to meet Katie and Dan in Chicago at Lincoln Park for their lovely autumn engagement photos. And yes, it was lovely. It was perfect fall weather - just brisk enough that a walk in the park and some cuddling made for a perfect afternoon. The clouds even parted and the sun came out warming us up as we made our way through this gorgeous downtown paradise. After wandering through the park, we made our way over to the lake shore so Katie and Dan could share in a romantic champagne toast while the sunset over the Chicago skyline. Things really don't get much more perfect than sharing a drink on Lake Michigan!

Congratulations to Katie and Dan and I'm looking forward to August 29th, 2015!

We walked through the park and used various locations and went to the lake shore after for a sunset champagne toast.
