St.James Farm Engagement Session

This was a special engagement session since I have been friends with Desiree now for about 4 years. I was so excited when her and Justin wanted me to photograph their wedding and engagement . We decided on St.James Farm in Warrenville. It really makes a perfect backdrop and offers so much versatility. They have finally finished construction there and the place looks just gorgeous! Enjoy!

St. James Farm in Warrenville Engagement Photos

Jobeth and Brett met me after being rained out on our first session. The weather was beyond perfect for our new session a few weeks later. Even though they were both very nervous they were naturals at having their photos taken! We explored St.James Farm together which is a favorite location of mine. We gushed about our mutual love of Disney World and these two love birds will be getting married there! How amazing is that?

St.James Farm Engagement Photos of Kevin & Emily

Kevin and Emily met me last week at the beautiful St.James Farm in Warrenville Illinois. I must say St.James farm has been one of my favorite locations, as it provides so many different settings. It has everything from rustic barns, tall grasses, white picket fences, to gorgeous tree alleles. We also had some fun with a yellow umbrella since they had binged on "How I Met Your Mother" together. I was super excited to to incorporate it into the session since I also LOVED that show.  Kevin and Emily will be getting married this fall at the beautiful Acquaviva Winery in Maple Park and I can't wait till their big day.

St.James Farm and Harry Caray Lombard Wedding

     Kenny and Ashley's wedding was pretty much a dream from start to end with the gorgeous details, dress, venue, and all the love the two of them shared. I met them both last year through my friend and fellow photographer Sarah who was in the wedding. We photographed them after their church wedding at one of my favorite places, St.James Farm in Warrenville. It made such a wonderful backdrop. Then we headed to the reception at Harry Caray's in Lombard. Enjoy the look at their day!

St.James Farm in Warrenville Family Photo shoot

      What could be better than warm fall days with your family at the beautiful St.James Farm in Warrenville? I met the S Family this past weekend for our session and got to capture them and their two boys. Can you believe their little man is not even two yet? Both boys were so smart and fun to photograph. What was even more wonderful is that Grandma was able to come to the shoot and get a few shots with her sweet grandsons. We had such a nice time together and I hope to see them next year! Enjoy!
