Amie and Ben's wedding was one for the books! This stunning couple flew from their home in New York City to the bride's hometown of Dallas, Texas to tie the knot and we couldn't be happier to have been a part of it! This couple was surrounded by so much love all day and their ceremony was just about the sweetest we've ever seen. The sun starting to set behind them as they exchanged vows was just the icing on the cake! Guests smiled, laughed, enjoyed some real Texas bbq under beautiful strands of twinkle lights hung from the ceiling at historic Winfrey Point. The couple had a pubic first dance in front of their loved ones and ended with the night with their own private last dance. A perfect end to a perfect evening!

I am just swooning over these film scans and can't wait to see them published!

Read MoreFrom the first time I spoke with Lindsay on the phone, I was super excited about capturing her wedding! Lindsay and Brian flew in from Manhattan to have their ceremony in Chicago, and more specifically, at St. Michael's in Old Town, where her mother and grandmother were also married. After the ceremony, the party moved to 19 East (one of our favorite Chicago venues!) where Food For Thought served international fare from all the countries around the world where the newlyweds have traveled. A wedding centered around travel with thoughtful details? My kind of wedding! The whole day was planned seamlessly by Marquette Events.
Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

Read MoreIf you think a little rain (ok, torrential downpours) were going to interfere with Katie and Dan's wedding day at the beautiful Saddle & Cycle, think again! These two fun-loving people couldn't take the smiles off of their faces from the morning where they began the day surrounded by their closest friends to the end of the night when they danced the night away! Planned to perfection by Wrap it Up Parties, the day couldn't have run smoother! I couldn't help but smile when Dan dipped Katie for their grand first dance moment and maybe even shed a tear during her father's sweet toast. We are so grateful to have been a small part of their perfect day!
Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

Read MoreI literally squealed when these film scans landed in my inbox. Quite possibly the most beautiful wedding we've had the privilege of covering, Nicole + Tarik's special day was nothing short of a dream! The ceremony took place by the chapel steps at the historic Chateau Bouthonvilliers in the French Countryside. It had been raining in the morning but the skies opened up with the perfect amount of sun and light breeze right before they said "I do" (a film photographer's dream!) The flowers from Floresie were out of this world (see her bouquet!!) and we absolutely cannot forget Nicole's blush Lazaro dress which literally stopped me in my tracks! Every detail was accounted for, from the oval emerald stunning engagement ring, to the hand calligraphed vow books to the studded louboutins, and all of it was perfectly executed by Mayra from The Event House.
