Can’t get enough of days like this - when love m Can’t get enough of days like this - when love meets wild landscapes, and time feels like it slows down just a little. Kananaskis, you were pure magic with your towering peaks, still lakes, and quiet trails. Days like these remind me why I do what I do. Forever chasing the light, the love, and the moments in between. • • • • • #wildheartweddings #elopementphotographer #kananaskiselopement #intimateweddingphotographer #albertaelopement #adventurouslove #elopeoutdoors #natureloverswedding #chicagobridestobe #chicagophotographer #ChicagoWeddingPhotographer #elopewithme #adventureelopement
🌊 Love is better with a splash! 🚣‍♀️💦 Your wedding or elopement day doesn’t have to follow the usual script. Why not trade the ballroom for a kayak, the dance floor for a mountain trail, or the bouquet toss for a sunset paddle? Because the best kind of love is the one where you can be you - soaked, sandy, and smiling ear to ear. Whether you’re gliding across the water, hiking up a ridge, or simply laughing under the stars, let your day reflect the adventure you’ve built together. Capturing love in its most natural state — messy hair, wet clothes, and all. 💙
That moment right before you see each other… The That moment right before you see each other… The deep breath, the butterflies, the quiet anticipation. And then—that look. The kind that says everything words can’t. A first look isn’t just about capturing a reaction; it’s about creating a moment that’s just yours. A pause in the middle of the city’s hum, where time slows down and love takes center stage. Whether it’s tucked away in a quiet cobblestone alley, on a sunlit rooftop with the skyline behind you, or right in the middle of a bustling street—there’s something undeniably magical about seeing each other for the first time with no distractions, no expectations… just you two. If you're wondering whether to have a first look for your intimate wedding or elopement, my advice? Do what feels right for you. And if that means sneaking away for a moment of your own before the vows—I'll be there, camera in hand, ready to capture every bit of it. Where would your dream first look be? Let’s dream it up together! P.S. Shot for @theadamkovi
Not every bride wants a grand ballroom. Not every Not every bride wants a grand ballroom. Not every love story fits a template. And not every wedding needs to follow the rules. Here’s to celebrating weddings your way - bold, free, and uniquely YOU. ✨😎 P.S. Shot for @velloraweddings
Love isn’t about grand gestures - it’s in the Love isn’t about grand gestures - it’s in the quiet moments, the knowing glances, the way your fingers find each other without thinking. This Valentine’s Day, here’s to love in its most intimate, unfiltered form - the kind that doesn’t need an audience, just the two of you. For the couples who’d rather chase sunsets than traditions, who value experiences over extravagance, who believe that love is best felt, not just seen - I see you. And I’d love to capture your story 🤎 Event planner: @mirrorballcollective @alexismastbrown Retro Boats: @chicagoeboats @h2pr Dresses: @timeless_bridal_boutique HMUA: @bllushbeauty
✨ Thinking about popping the question? Here’s ✨ Thinking about popping the question? Here’s a little secret—where you propose can make the moment even more magical. ✨ Take the Chicago Botanic Garden, for example. With its winding paths, dreamy bridges, and flowers that change with the seasons, it’s a setting that feels straight out of a love story. And the best part? Nature does the decorating for you. A few tips if you're planning a proposal: 💍 Pick a spot with sentimental value or a breathtaking view. 📷 Time it right—sunset glow or golden-hour light makes everything extra romantic. 💌 Consider a photographer (hi, it’s me!) to capture the moment so you can relive it forever. Engaged or not, the beauty of these gardens reminds us to pause and soak in the little moments with the ones we love. ❤️ Would you say yes here? Drop a 🌿 if this feels like a dream spot!
