Read MoreTiffany and Pace were lucky enough to celebrate their wedding on two separate days and we were even luckier to capture both special days!

We just love these two and are so excited to share a sneak peek of their beautiful days!

Read MoreI am so excited to share these images featured in Glamour and Grace!
When you can get your hands on a hand-sewn Emily Riggs gown, of course you want to photograph it like crazy! In this shoot, photographed on film, I wanted to contrast the delicate lace and soft blush romantic color of the gown to show how beautifully it could look in a minimal setting or in an urban, city sprawl. This shoot took place inside and outside of the hip Virgin Hotel in downtown Chicago.
Rachel Keppeler Designs provided geode inspired jewelry pieces to complement the pastel tones in the dress and Appease to you made Bella glow with an upswept look and natural make-up. For florals, we stuck to Pantone's color of the year, greenery with our own natural take of whisky eucalyptus and succulents.
Enjoy!
