New Year’s Eve Wedding at Prairie Landing Golf Club

February 9, 2018

When you think about spending New Year’s Eve working, the first thing in your mind is… It better be FUN!! Well, this wedding and couple was more than that.

Erin and Jon are so full of live… they’re fun, outgoing, kind, adventurist, and madly in love.

They were planning a New Years Eve wedding with an open bar all night, not sitting plans, food all night, and LIVE MUSIC (Fun stuff!!). This party was going to be one of a kind!

The ceremony was held at Alice Millar Chapel in Evanston, a truly spectacular chapel with colorful stain glass windows where Jon always dreamed getting married at and I now know why.

Do you remember New Year’s Eve sunset in Chicago? It was the best backdrop driving from Evanston to Prairie Landing Golf where the reception was going to happen.

From the moment the Bluewater Kings started playing the first set until right after midnight, the dance floor was full of good dancers, party animals (literally), and so much happiness. And just like that we ended the year just the way we like… surrounded by great energy and love.

Thank you Erin and Jon for trusting us with these beautiful memories.

Always great working with amazing people & professionals:

Reception: Prairie Landing Golf Club

Ceremony: Alice Millar Chapel

Wedding Coordinator: Jennifer Sutton 

Live Music: Bluewater Kings Band

Hotel: Hyatt Place Evanston

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET
Juancho + Johana

We’re Johana and Juancho — partners in life, creativity, and capturing love stories across the globe. Juancho’s journey began with bold determination: he moved from Colombia to the U.S. with nothing but vision, passion, and a deep love for people’s stories. He bought the best lens on the market before even owning a camera, and after his first engagement session with friends, he came home glowing. That spark turned into a decade-long career rooted in emotion, connection, and purpose. Juancho has a magnetic personality — the kind that makes fast friends with strangers on planes, in grocery aisles, and even with our UPS guy. Weddings, with all their energy, humanity, and beautiful chaos, are his favorite kind of playground.

I bring a different kind of energy to the team. With a background in modeling and a career as a radio and TV host, I’ve always lived in creative spaces — and now I channel that into editorial work and wedding storytelling. Juancho likes to call my eye “the girly point of view,” but really it’s about noticing what often goes unseen: the softness, the glances, the stillness in between the big moments. Maybe it’s the journalist in me, but I’m always drawn to the why behind the image. Together, we balance each other — and we love creating with people who value that harmony of heart and art.
