ADLER PLANETARIUM DOWNTOWN CHICAGO WEDDING Jon + Annie | Married
The hustle, the noise, the pace, the fun, the energy…there is a lot about the beautiful, large, crazy city of Chicago that draws me to it. Annie and Jon’s wedding had elements of all of that and so much more. From the moment we got there to the moment we left, we saw act after act of love between Annie, Jon, and their closest people. Annie is a wedding professional herself, working for a major Chicago Catering company, and seeing her at her wedding venue surrounded by so many of the people she works with particularly caught my heart. The people that surround Annie and Jon were just so excited for them on this beautiful day.
Annie and Jon are both just special people. They both have huge hearts and huge capacities to care for others, and that was what we saw again and again. Helping their bridesmaids and groomsmen, playing with their nieces, making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun…they just care for others really well, and it was so beautiful to see, especially on their wedding day. Annie and Jon planned every detail to perfection (with the help of their AMAZING planner Alison–brides, find her details below and hire her!!!), and it was just such a beautiful day. Here are some of my MANY favorites!!

I'm Jill, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Chicago and Central Illinois, and available world wide! I'm also a photography educator, wife to my favorite person on the planet, mama to 3 amazing kids and an energetic Aussie, and obsessed with statement jewelry and all desserts (especially fruit pies!).
As a past high school teacher, I have a major heart for education. After going full time in my business, I have built a business I love that gives me an almost 6 figure salary and allows me to be home part time with my kids. I dream for you to run a business that enhances your life and lights you up, and I believe I can help you learn how to do it with a little hustle and a lot of heart!

Hello Friend!
Are you a Photographer?

Are you a mom/hobbyist?
Start HERE!
You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business! I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
These are such beautiful images that “catch” the magic of that special day. You are great, Jill. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the DeKock and Schey family and friends.
Thank you so much!! It was such a pleasure to be part of this beautiful day! 🙂
