Read MorePeople often ask me why I shoot film. "Isn't it expensive," they ask? "No one does that anymore." "Why not digital?" And then....I receive scans that look like this - forward it on to them....and "oooohhhhh," they say, "I get it now."
Kiki and Chris - you are a gorgeous couple and we are thrilled to share a sneak peek of your most special day. Thank you for inviting us all the way to St. Joseph, Michigan to capture your perfect day - it was an honor!

Read MoreSome weddings just leave you speechless. The emotion, the love, the happy tears...Megan and Kiril's wedding was one of those. The whole day was executed to perfection by Lola Events and no detail was overlooked. Megan started her day at the Public Hotel where Sonia Roselli Beauty beautifully applied makeup for her and her best girls. Laughs, champagne and CARTIER followed (yes, Megan was lucky enough to open the most stunning Cartier bracelet from her love!)
Kirin and Megan saw each other for the first time when she walked down the aisle at Gallery 1028. Megan looked absolutely radiant in her Sarah Seven gown! The party continued well into the night with dancing and fun for all!
Congratulations you two and thank you for letting us be a small part of your beautiful day!

Read MoreThere were so many wonderful reasons to smile on Erin and Rick's wedding day of April 22, 2017! The sun was shining, champagne was flowing and joy was everywhere! Erin started her day getting ready in the beautifully lit bridal suite at the Warwick Allerton Hotel in the heart of downtown Chicago. Her bridesmaids wore pretty floral robes and Erin was sweet enough to gift them a pair of Kate Spade sunnies and sparkly Kate Spade flats to slip into for dancing later in the evening. After putting on her gown, a blindfolded Rick met her in the ballroom where the pair sat back to back, held hands for a moment and exchanged gifts. This moment was one of my favorites ever! After saying their vows in Lincoln Park's St. Clementine's Church, the party moved back to the Allerton where fun was had by all - well into the night!
We are honored to have been a small part of their beautiful wedding day and hope you enjoy this sneak peek you two!
