Josh and Grace Wedding - Bloomingdale Golf Club in Bloomingdale Illinois

Lucas Botz — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 16:09:34 +0000

These two made the day so easy and enjoyable to capture. It helps that I’ve known Josh and his family since he was a baby. At the engagement session, I got to know Grace and quickly realized why Josh loves her. She is kind, quick-witted, and loves to laugh. There were endless smiles and lots of laughter during the day. I couldn't be more grateful to photograph and witness these two unique humans get married. Below are 100 + of my favorites from the day.

Laena + Tim Engagment

Friends are the easiest to photograph. They know me; they know that I love to laugh, not judge, and my natural state is one of gratefulness/ joy. I’ve known Laena for 25yrs. Our parents knew each other growing up, and our grandmothers were best friends. I’m so happy to have taken these photos and remain overjoyed for Tim and Laena. Seeing them so excited and in love brings a big smile to my face. I can’t wait to celebrate the big day with all the family and friends.

Aidan Senior Portrait

Lucas Botz — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 15:52:27 +0000

Last fall, I photographed Aidan on a cold and windy day. Not ideal conditions for shooting the perfect portrait. I didn't mind the wind; I think it helps make the session more candid. Aiden's personality is fun and carefree, so that played into wild weather well.

NARRATE STUDIOS

Narrate Studios is one of my favorite video companies and maybe the most clever groups EVER assembled. TRUTH. This collection of creatives is a joy to be around.

The goal of the shoot was to capture the Team at work. With that, I did a handful of individuals and group shots. NAILED IT.
