Janet and Uyi's pre-wedding session at The Drake Hotel Oak Brook was filled with laughter, connection, and excitement for the journey ahead.


From the elegant architecture to the beautiful grounds, The Drake provided the perfect backdrop for capturing this special season of their lives. We spent the evening creating timeless portraits while documenting the genuine moments that make their relationship uniquely theirs.


We're honored to have captured these memories and can't wait to celebrate alongside them on their wedding day.
