Ken was one of my first proposal clients of 2024. Although I had been photographing for years, I was newer to proposal photography at the time. Ken booked a session at the Rookery Building in Chicago to propose to his girlfriend Solomiya, and I might have been more nervous than he was. Seriously. She said yes and the surprise proposal was a perfect success!

They were lovely to work with and really loved the images I created. So much so that when it came time to book a photographer for their Chicago courthouse wedding ceremony & couple’s session, I was top of mind. I love simplicity of an intimate courthouse wedding ceremony and they are one of my favorite sessions to photograph, so it was an easy yes from me.

And like the perfect surprise proposal, their post-courthouse wedding photo session was perfectly chic, and they couldn’t be happier with their images:
