A couple walks at sunset toward the golf course at Sand Creek Country Club.

As the sun sets upon the 2024 wedding season, it’s time for my annual Year In Review. As usual, I did photography (and video) for many Northwest Indiana and Chicago area couples.

Whether you’re planning your own wedding or just love seeing beautiful wedding photography, this post celebrates the love stories that made 2024 unforgettable.

I hope it does justice to the wonderful love that was on display this past year and my commitment to capturing beautiful and creative wedding photography.

Fernando and Adriana’s Spring wedding in Chicago gave us late November temperatures, and their favorite city lived up to its name of the Windy City with 30mph winds. However, these two warm hearts inspired us to capture their happiness in photos and videos at various iconic Chicago locations.

It was a perfect later afternoon / early evening at Ohio Street Beach in Chicago for this epic wedding photo session with Olivia and Dylan.

The sunset brought us some awesome hues in the sky, but most importantly, our couple was game to embrace the water of Lake Michigan and get down and dirty in the sand, Trash the Dress style.
