Rachel and Josh’s wedding at the Union League Club in Chicago felt like stepping into another era. The moment you walked through the doors, you were wrapped in the kind of timeless elegance that never goes out of style: moody lighting, ornate details, and that quiet “old money” charm that makes the day feel cinematic. Their day carried this romantic, nostalgic energy that perfectly matched who they are: kind, genuine, and full of grace.

Every part of their celebration was filled with warmth. From their sweet, contagious smiles to the way their friends and family celebrated them. They said “I do” in a grand ballroom that radiated old-world beauty and ended the night beneath glittering chandeliers. Their gallery is a blend of classic portraits and effortless candids that together tell a story of love that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Much of the day was captured on 35mm film, which added an even richer layer of nostalgia and texture to their story! The kind of imagery that will feel just as magical decades from now as it did that night.

[ A NOTE FROM THEM ]

“If you’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon (or have been recommended) Brooke and David for photography/videography, my advice is book with them immediately. For my wife and I, we had specifically booked Brooke for our wedding and engagement photoshoot, however, I have full confidence that, based on Brooke’s work, David must also be wonderfully talented. Even at our first call, it was clear that we would be booking with Brooke simply due to the personability of Brooke. On top of that, I’ve yet to find a photographer in the Chicago/Indiana area that can impart so much emotion in their photography. She has such a talent for reading the feeling of every room and moment. She also finds unique shots to throw in throughout the night and those might be our favorite photos of all. It’s easy to say that you can’t go wrong when it comes to photography with Brooke.

For those considering the second shooter, I truly believe you should have no worries. Brooke was able to pick someone that meshed well both in personality and photography style, they didn’t miss a beat! It’s a real treat to get some film photography as well! I can’t recommend Brooke enough. If she has your date available, what are you doing still reading this review. Go book with her already!”
