Jenny & Kevin’s Beautiful Covenant at Murray Mansion Wedding

Jenny and Kevin met the old-fashioned way – on Tinder lol – and spent their first date watching a horror film when neither of them like watching horror films. But from that first date things became pretty serious . . .

We were first connected with Jenny through Conrad’s wife Ami, her and Jenny grew up together and shared a sweet friendship. We are so glad to have gotten to know Jenny and Kevin through her! I visited Jenny and Kevin at his family’s lakehouse in Wisconsin last September for the sweetest engagement session and loved spending time with them. They describe themselves as “anxious, introverted and sleepy” but to me their connection is deeply rooted in peace, comfort and love. Their engagement session was so calm and lovely, it was a treat to see them in their element enjoying quiet time together by the lake and playing a hand of cards on the porch.

From their engagement session I had a glimpse of how much family means to Jenny and Kevin as his cousin was on-hand for support (and help with their sweet dog). On their wedding day that family support system pitched in by helping with flowers and set-up at the gorgeous Covenant at Murray Mansion in Racine. Jenny envisioned a bright and cheerful wedding and created all of the beautiful centerpieces, floral arrangements and printed details on her own, everything looked amazing! We loved how the magenta and orange florals popped against the beautiful background of the chapel adjacent to the Murray Mansion!

Jenny also chose the most gorgeous floral veil to wear, we were truly obsessed with the delicate and colorful embroidered flowers. While every detail looked perfect the best thing about Jenny and Kevin’s wedding day was just being in the presence of their deep connection. Conrad and I loved quietly photographing Jenny and Kevin from the corners of the Murray Mansion as they exchanged private vows and romantic moments. Conrad carried several cameras throughout the day to take traditional film photographs of Jenny and Kevin as well – scroll through their digital photos to see how their film scans turned out! This was such a wonderful wedding, we are so thankful to have been a part of it!

Both Conrad and I are trained as “traditional” photographers, meaning that film photography has a special place in our creative hearts. Conrad carried three film cameras on Jenny and Kevin’s wedding day to make a ton of beautiful exposures, we are obsessed with how these film scans turned out!

Congratulations, Jenny and Kevin, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Danielle & Dan’s Perfect Geneva National Wedding

Danielle and Dan knew each other in high school, but didn’t start dating until 15 years later when they matched on Bumble. They quickly fell in love and soon Dan knew he wanted to propose . . .

Danielle and Dan knew each other in high school, but didn’t start dating until 15 years later when they matched on Bumble. They quickly fell in love and soon Dan knew he wanted to propose – he chose to pop the question at Gianni’s Cafe in Palatine (one of their favorite date night spots), and after Danielle said “YES!” they met their friends at Tap House to celebrate.

When I first met Danielle and Dan over Zoom I was so comfortable talking with them, they are just so easy to talk to, easy to get along with. They have a way of making everyone feel like close friends. Conrad bonded with Danielle and Dan over their Palatine connection, it’s always fun when we get to know our neighbors!! When I got to meet Danielle and Dan in person for their engagement session it was just fun to take their pictures, they are very in love and very comfortable with one another. They brought along their adorable dog that night and we were treated to a perfect sunset.

Their wedding day was truly perfect, it was a joy for me and Conrad and Lindsay to drive to Lake Geneva to be a part of this celebration. We love shooting at Geneva National, it’s such a beautiful venue. Danielle looked radiant as she got ready with her girls, and when she saw her Dad I’m pretty sure everyone was crying. Her Dad was super emotional ALL day, he kept his sunglasses on to hide his tears.

After Danielle and Dan’s beautiful lakeside ceremony we moved inside for an epic party. Our good friends the Etters were there to celebrate (they are local influencers and huge advocates for Palatine, AND happen to be Danielle and Dan’s neighbors and close friends!) We were treated to another beautiful sunset, before dancing the night away to SODA’s amazing set. We snuck a few Jeni’s Ice Creams before heading back home, it was truly the most perfect day.
