Chicago Wedding Photographer Blog of Sarah Postma Photography bio picture
  • Hello there! I’m Chicago wedding photographer Sarah Postma.

    Welcome to my blog! I have a simple philosophy: to make photographs that are interesting, meaningful and real.

    I enjoy movies with happy endings, fresh-brewed coffee, and live jazz. I love to travel, and I love city lights almost as much as I love mountains.

    After living most my life in Michigan, Washington, and New Jersey (just outside of NYC), I now reside in Chicago. I'm currently accepting wedding commissions throughout the United States and other destinations.

    Take a peek at some of my latest wedding photography or e-mail me anytime at sarah@sarahpostma.com

    All my best,
    Sarah

Katie + John | Lincoln Park Chicago Engagement Session

Chicago-engagement-pictures

When our busy schedules found us meeting up for their engagement session on a rainy day, Katie and John were remarkably cheery. I’m so glad they brought their positive attitudes. And some rain boots. And an umbrella. Before they got too wet in the rain, we headed over to the Lincoln Park Conservatory for a few shots among the lush greenery, and warmed up with some coffee at the Bourgeois Pig Cafe. I’m so excited to be photographing their wedding next June in New Jersey! And I’m so glad they were willing to be the proof that engagement sessions (and weddings!) can be beautiful in the rain.

Sara + Jason | Montrose Harbor Chicago Engagement Session

Sara and Jason know how to laugh. A lot. So you can bet I had the best time with them during their engagement session! They are planning to incorporate lots of wildflowers into their wedding decor next year, so we spent some time wandering through the wildflower fields at Montrose Harbor. This place never disappoints. I’ve loved it in every season, but the fall leaves and warm light of that afternoon may have made it my favorite time there yet. We even wrapped up the session with a beer at Waterhouse in Lakeview where they had their first date! Such a laid back, refreshing engagement session. Sara and Jason, this time spent photographing you has me all the more excited for your wedding!

Jillian + David | Grand Rapids Engagement Session

undefined

Jillian is a fellow naturally curly girl and she’s my cousin-in-law. What’s not to love? I was so excited when she and Dave asked me to schedule their engagement session during a visit to Grand Rapids. What a fantastic city; it has somehow become way cooler than it was when I lived there eight years ago. We started out at the 6th Street Bridge and made our way over to Cherry Street. Strolling past the antique stores on a red brick road made a beautiful backdrop in one of the most happening neighborhoods in the city.
