Annie & HarrisonKemper Lakes Golf Club, Kildeer IL

Annie and Harrison’s May 2024 wedding at Kemper Lakes Golf Club in Kildeer, Illinois, was a beautiful celebration that brought together Asian and Jewish traditions in a relaxed and meaningful way. With an 8-hour photography package and no Getting Ready coverage, the day began with a private First Look between the bride and groom at the venue, setting the tone for an intimate and joyful celebration.

One of the highlights of the day was the dedicated time Annie and Harrison set aside for their private photo session.

As a laid-back couple, they trusted their photographer to gently guide them throughout the session, allowing us to focus on their natural connection rather than creating overly posed images. With extra time dedicated to their portraits, we were able to explore the beautiful grounds of Kemper Lakes Golf Club and create artistic, romantic photographs that captured the tenderness between them.

Their wedding beautifully combined Asian and Jewish wedding traditions, giving the day a wonderful cultural richness. Additional time was dedicated to the important Ketubah signing, allowing us to document this meaningful Jewish tradition without rushing through the moment.

The outdoor ceremony, with the beautiful Kemper Lakes lake providing a natural backdrop, was photographed with a behind-the-scenes approach, capturing not only the main moments but also the atmosphere, emotions, and little interactions happening around the ceremony.

Choosing to begin coverage with the First Look and prioritizing the couple’s private portraits allowed Annie and Harrison to make excellent use of their 8 hours of photography coverage. The result was a complete and beautifully varied wedding gallery—one that combines artistic portraits, candid moments, cultural traditions, and the genuine connection between two people celebrating their marriage at Kemper Lakes Golf Club.
