Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Autumn Chicago Elopement - Emily & Brandon
Emily and Brandon are two of the most lovely humans we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. These two had a wedding scheduled for April of 2020. They were the first couple we figured this all out with and I cannot begin to express how thankful we are to still get to work with them this upcoming year as they celebrate with more of their friends and loved ones. To say that they handled this last year in stride and grace is an understatement . We have SO MUCH respect for them. Their kindness and their communication as we just simply took last spring day by day. They decided on an intimate elopement this past fall and they tied the knot in Chicago surrounded by their very closest family members. It was beautiful. Their joy wasn’t squelched by the pandemic, and we’re beyond excited to get to keep them with us this upcoming year. For now, enjoy all the beauty and joy from their first wedding celebration!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Autumn Wedding at The Grand Geneva - Kaitlyn and Jake
We knew before it even started that this day was going to be as close to perfect as it gets. It’s like the entire state of Wisconsin was glowing and showing off just for these two on their wedding day. This happened to be our one and only full wedding day due to covid this year. I’m thrilled for these two and the perfect date they choose to say “I do” with as many friends and family members that were able to celebrate.
I think we would relive this day over and over if we could. I remember when we were driving through Kaitlyn’s neighborhood on our way for getting ready pictures and feeling sheer excitement as we noted how perfect the colors were on the trees.

Kaitlyn’s Jenny Yoo gown was jaw dropping. It swayed and flowed so prfectly in those golden reeds. Kaitlyn & Jake’s portraits might be some of our all time favorites in the Lake Geneva area. …golden hour in Autumn is magical. We loved every bit of this day. The locations, the people, the venue; it’s days like this that never feel like work. Kaitlyn & Jake, thank you so much for the honor of getting to be a part of this dream day. We’re so thankful to have been a part of your team. May your marriage be as beautiful as the two of you were on October 24th, 2020.

It was such a treat to capture Baby Charlie and his incredible parents Sarah & Thomas. And to top it off, this nursery is off the charts beautiful! If you’re in need of inspiration, scroll down now!
It’s been such an incredible year of meeting new families, couples, and babies! 2020 was not what we expected, but in some ways, it was better than we expected. Life keeps moving forward. Not even a pandemic can stop babies from being born. And not even a pandemic can stifle the joy of welcoming your first born and relishing those first couple of weeks as new parents. It’s the best. And the Skalkos Family is one of the loveliest around. It was such a treat to capture Baby Charlie and his incredible parents Sarah & Thomas. And to top it off, this nursery is off the charts beautiful! If you’re in need of inspiration, scroll down now!
Special thanks to our past bride, Amy, for gifting the Skalkos Family with a Lifestyle Infant Session! We’re so thankful for the continued support of our couples and it’s such a treat to meet new families!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Engagement Session -Jenny & Steve
I’m not typically a morning person, but I will jump at the chance to capture a sunrise engagement session on Lake Michigan in Chicago! It was such a treat to relive Jenny & Steve’s warm engagement session from this summer. They were so much fun to meet up with and their ensembles were perfectly on point. (Jenny’s dress is incredible inspiration if you’re planning a lakeside session. Take note of those pastels, *wink, wink) Jenny & Steve, thank you so much for the honor of getting to capture this exciting milestone in your lives! May your wedding day and marriage be as glorious as you were on this day!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Wedding at The Glen Club - Hajar and Eric
There was nothing that could stop Eric and Hajar from saying “I do” on September 12th, 2020. Between a postponement due to Covid, a Venue change, and rain all day on their new wedding date, they most certainly had their hands full. However, not even the rain could keep them from their glorious outdoor ceremony with their closest family and friends at the Glen Club.
There was nothing 2020 could throw at Hajar and Eric that could stop them from saying “I do”. Between a postponement due to Covid, a Venue change, and rain all day on their new wedding date, they most certainly had their hands full. However, not even the rain could keep them from their glorious outdoor ceremony with their closest family and friends at the Glen Club. This day was all about what really and truly matters. It brought us back to what a wedding truly means. Its ALL about the bride, groom, and what they want most. Those last few minutes leading up to their long anticipated first look and then that walk down the aisle were beautiful. We love the emotion and heart that Eric and Hajar’s day was filled with. NOTHING stops love, friends. …and not only was every moment meaningful, but it was absolutely gorgeous to capture. Special thanks to the outstanding ladies of Exquisite Events & Floral design who kept us all on time and laughing throughout the day! Every part of this celebration was a treat!

It was such a treat to capture Samantha and Jack say “I do”. It was just as beautiful to be invited to capture their beautiful miracle baby. These lifestyle sessions couldn’t fill us up any more than this.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Backyard Wedding - Becca & Peter
It’s official. We are head over heels for intimate backyard weddings. Becca & Peter are incredible. There was nothing that was going to stop these two from getting married and the joy was more beautiful than words can describe. Nothing can stop true love, friends. It was such a treat to capture these two beautiful souls and their closest family members and friends. And does it get any more meaningful than saying “I do” in your very own backyard?! I know this day was not what they were envisioning a year ago. It was better. And I cannot wait to still capture and celebrate their big reception and celebration with the entirety of their family and friends. Becca and Peter, thank you for the honor of getting to be a part of this perfect day. You two are the real deal. And we can’t wait to continue this party later on!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Danada House Wedding - Marc & Kelsey
This wedding day was a Midwest Autumn dream. The leaves were a perfect orange and it was right before they all fell. Marc & Kelsey were cool, calm, and collected despite the rain that poured from beginning to end. These two are the most perfect example of how romantic and beautiful a rainy wedding day can be if you’re willing to embrace it! The Danada House is also a perfect example of how perfect a rainy day can be there. We used their awning and porch for almost all of their portraits and grabbed a few umbrellas for more by the trees. It was just perfect and such a dream to have gotten to spend it with these two kind souls. Their entire day was a joy and smooth sailing thanks to Bethany Moore Events.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Maxwell Mansion Wedding - Susie & Andrew
This truly was a treasure of a day! Susie & Andrew tied the knot on a blustery March day just a little over a year ago. They decided on an intimate ceremony and reception surrounded by their very closest loved ones at the fabulous Maxwell Mansion in the heart of Lake Geneva, WI. To quote the words from Susie: “Our officiant, Patrice, is a close family friend who has cut Susie's hair since age of 5. We call her aunt, and she exudes the spirit of Jesus in love, kindness, and charity. We couldn't think of anyone better to officiate our wedding.” It truly doesn’t get any sweeter than that. This day was meaningful from beginning to end. The Mansion was a perfect setting for their 1920’s Art Deco & Speak Easy vibes and there is inspiration from every inch of this day. It was such a joy to have been a part of this celebration and such an honor to work alongside the loveliest vendor friends. Thank you, Susie & Andrew, for the honor!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | North Shore Country Club Wedding - Kristin & Nate
I don’t think we’ll be able to get over this day for a long time. Nate & Kristin planned their beautiful North Shore Country Club wedding all the way from California so they could celebrate in Kristin’s childhood stomping grounds. We were so blessed to have gotten to be a part of this classically elegant and sophisticated wedding day. Nate & Kristin have the kindest and most endearing hearts. Every moment of the day was focused on their love for one another and their families. It was obvious where their kindness stems from after we met their loved ones. Their first look was one for the books, as they made a last minute location change and kept the day simple by opting for a first look and portraits at their beautiful venue so we could beat the rain. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and that rain can make a day even more special. This day is proof of that! To Nate & Kristin, we’re so beyond overjoyed to have been a part of your team. May your marriage forever be as lovely and beautiful as this day was. Thanks you for sending us home with hearts full.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Geneva National Wedding - Dan & Mica
What an absolute delight and joy of a day to relive all over again. It was the dose of sunshine, vitamin D, and joy that I needed on Quarantine Day 467. That bright sunshine, yellows and soft blues, an insanely fun bridal party, and such a kind and fun loving couples left us with hearts full. Dan and Mica are the real deal. Not only was it a treat to just get to be with them all day, but it was also a treat to capture their authenticity. Every part of the day was centered on enjoying their loved ones, dear friends, and each other. They are DEEPLY loved and it was so easy to see why. Every part of the day, beginning to end, took place in one of our all time favorite places in this area. Geneva National is a treasure. We’re so thankful for the gift it was to capture this day and we’re so excited to finally share more!

We lucked out with this glorious day downtown. It was such a treat to hang with Jake & Kaitlyn. These two are SO much fun. Truly, a dream couple for us to get to capture and we cannot wait for their wedding day! We met up for these right before everything was on lock down and I’m so thankful to have had the pleasure of capturing them before this long period of social distancing. It’s going to be a glorious day when we can all come together again and celebrate life and love. Until then, cheers to Jake & Kaitlyn!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Genoa City, Wisconsin Engagement Session - Chase & Kristen
For Chase Kristen, it was a no brainer as to where they wanted to capture their Engagement photos. Chase’s beautiful lake house sits on Benedict Lake and it was a dream to visit and capture these two in their neck of the woods. It was that warm hazy part of summer that we live for. And triple points for taking out the boat for a few more photos to end the night on.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Dominican University Wedding - Kerry & John
I remember our very first meeting with Kerry & John like it was yesterday. Kerry had a vision and a plan for her wedding day that made us clap and jump up and down and get so excited we were ready to capture it then and there. It wasn’t necessarily her vision in the lush florals and color scheme (don’t get me wrong, I was swooning over that too) but, it was her passion for her family and the way she wanted to honor her beautiful parents and give so much meaning, tradition, and sacredness to their first look and ceremony. That is why they had chosen the gorgeous Rosary Chapel at Dominican University to begin their marriage story. Kerry’s parents were also married in this chapel and it was so important for Kerry to honor that tradition for their own beginning. Kerry & John’s first look and portraits were also captured in the exact locations where her parents’ photos were captured as well. It was such a meaningful tradition and a complete honor to have captured these two beautiful souls there where it all started. Can we also just tip our hats to the gorgeous and such florals by Avant Gardenia and celebrate the gorgeous space at the Westin O’Hare?! Their staff was such a treat to work alongside and we couldn’t sing higher praise.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Independence Grove Wedding - Richard & Molly
This day was exactly what I needed to relive on this cold and grey January day. As I relived all of these moments from Molly & Richard’s summer wedding at Independence Grove in Libertyville, I could feel the warm breeze and sunshine on my skin. This day was heaven on earth. If what you give out truly comes back to you someday, then these two have a whole lot of goodness coming their way. Truly two of the warmest, kindest, joy-filled people we’ve ever had the gift of coming across.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers - Ryan & Erin | The Haight
As I relived this glorious wedding day at The Haight in downtown Elgin, IL, I cannot help but remember the steam that was literally rising off the pavement as we parked our car and began to settle our gear. It was one of those days where our lenses would fog if we went back and forth between outdoors and the air conditioning. If you are a fellow Wedding Photog, I know you get what we mean. But, despite the intense heat, I cannot help but smile as I remember this beautiful bride. Erin is as lovely as they come. Like one of those brides who you can’t help but need to pinch yourself because they chose you. She was joyful, calm, and filled with love for every human who was a part of this beautiful day. And her fireman, Ryan was equally as lovely! It was such a treat to personalize their portraits with a stop at the old Elgin Fire Station. These two were surrounded by pure love, celebration, and laughter from begging to end. We are over the moon for these two and their day. And we’ve found a new local venue to whom we cannot sing higher praise. Thank you to the lovely staff at The Haight for making it such a pleasure as well! Erin & Ryan, you two are incredible and we hope your lifetime is filled with as much fun as your wedding day!

Geoff & Kristen’s story is so beautiful and unique and we are beyond honored to have had the privilege of getting to capture this outrageously beautiful day. Every moment of the day was planned with so much intention and honor towards their story, loved ones, and family. Kristen and Geoff are surrounded by the most incredible tribe who came together to celebrate them and it’s clear that they couldn’t be more adored. The joy and laughter filled us to the brim and it’s even a blessing to have relived this day to share with you all today. Their lakeside ceremony and tented reception was equally beautiful, elegant, and relaxed. Lawn games filled the grounds and the sweetest littles filled the resort running, playing, and enjoying every moment with their families. It just doesn’t get any more delightful than this. Kristen & Geoff, your family is beautiful and we’re so thankful to have gotten to capture it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
