Rachel and Dustin’s engagement session in Lincoln Park was full of love, laughter, and their adorable pup, Ryder, who definitely stole the show. We had the honor of photographing Dustin’s sister, Hannah, when she married Jared in 2022, so it’s extra special to be working with this fun and wonderful family again. Their wedding next year is going to be one to remember!

XOXO,

~ Dawn + Bob

This sweet couple showed up in Ralph Lauren white button-ups and classic 501s, and we couldn’t love it more. The way Matthew looks at Dani is pure love. Their engagement session was full of laughter, tender moments, a few sweet kisses… and their adorable puppy, Poppy! We can’t wait to celebrate their wedding in October 2025!

XOXO,

~ Dawn + Bob

Kaila and Andrew’s wedding at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel was such an amazing celebration, not to mention incredibly fun! We first met Andrew’s parents, Pam and Phil, at a gala years ago and instantly connected. That meaningful introduction eventually led us to meeting their son, Andrew and his then girlfriend, Kaila, and we’re so grateful it did. They are the nicest, kindest, most beautiful couple, and we absolutely adore them and the love they share with each other. It’s the kind of love that’s so genuine and effortless, and it was a true honor to capture their wedding day!

The incredible team at Great Events planned every detail to perfection, making the day feel seamless. Bloome Floral filled the space with stunning arrangements that brought warmth and elegance to every corner. And the Renaissance Chicago Hotel was the perfect venue, modern, stylish, and ideal for a city celebration.

Once the reception kicked off, Rendezvous Music kept the party going strong. The dance floor stayed full all night long, and the energy was full of life. It was one of those nights where the celebration felt endless in the best way!

As they celebrate their one year anniversary, we’re raising a glass to Kaila and Andrew! Here’s to all the love, laughter, and beautiful moments still to come!

Much love,

~ Dawn + Bob
