Sarah & Brendan | Rockford Art Museum Wedding

Sarah and Brendan's wedding ceremony took place outdoors between the Rockford Art Museum and Burpee Museum. The tucked away location was the perfect environment for what was one of the most heartfelt ceremonies that I've had the pleasure of documenting. Here's just a few photos of the happy couple.

Congrats Sarah & Brendan!

Emily & Dave | Chicagoland Wedding

I'd been looking forward to Emily and Dave's wedding for a long time. To put it simply, these two are just my kind of people. Emily and Dave were married in an intimate backyard ceremony in Downer's Grove, proceeded by a brief stop at Morton Arboretum. Here's just a few of my favorite photos from the day:

Kristen and Andy hit the road from their home in Madison, WI to get married at the lovely Dubuque Arborteum and Gardens in a sunny mid-afternoon ceremony.

Here are just a few of my favorite moments from the day.

Congrats Kristen & Andy!
