Brittany + Matt met the day before Thanksgiving 2009 at Joe’s on Weed Street. They were both out celebrating the infamous Black Wednesday, probably not where most happily ever afters start. But for them, that was it. A few days later, Matt texted Brittany asking to hangout, and five years later, they got engaged. The road down […]

After being acquaintances at the same high school and running into each other all the time on breaks from college, Khrista + Colin reconnected again at Morton Grove pre-fourth of July festival in 2011. They dated for a few years until last St. Patrick’s Day weekend, Colin proposed at the gazebo by the Drake Hotel – disguising it […]

Sarah + Joe grew up just 5 minutes from each other in Kenosha, yet it wasn’t until a few years ago that they met in St. Paul, MN. It was a chance meeting, a friend of a friend was visiting a friend who ended up being Joe… you know how random fate usually plays it… but long […]

It was written in the cards for Linda and Volen, they just didn’t realize it until college. The two had crossed paths at a high school speech team meet. The judge had been late, so Volen propped his feet up on the desk and started asking everyone Trivial Pursuit questions that he had found in the room. […]

I love telling the story of my couples. However, I usually put them into my own words, through my eyes and through my lens, but the way Melissa talks about the experience is simply unbeatable. I have to give it to you word for word. “In life there are good days, but September 4th, 2015 […]

Erin + Ed actually walked down the aisle together four years ago, but not as a couple. They met through friends – one of Erin’s friends started dating Ed’s fraternity brother – so they were in the same place a few times but it wasn’t until May of 2012 that the universe did a little literary […]

Lauren + Joe met at a bar in Wicker Park, exchanged numbers after chatting for 10 minutes, went on their first date 2 days later, and never looked back (for more on that story, check out their Engagement Session)! Fast forward to March in 2015, and Joe was ready to propose. Here’s the incredible story […]

I shared the story of how Christina + Jimmy met on their Engagement Session, so if you missed it or just want to see a 1930s biplane – go check it out 🙂 Their Engagement Session was incredible, so I wasn’t sure how we’d top that experience together. But let me tell you, their wedding […]

Every now and then, I like to second shoot for other photographers to get a new perspective on things, see how others are getting it done, and all around have fun shooting without the pressure of working a wedding as a lead shooter (real talk: love all my couples but sometimes it is stressful trying to […]

What an incredible year it has been. As always, it flew by and I can’t believe there’s only a few weeks left of 2015. I was privileged enough to work with some of the most amazing people. Couples who I now call friends. People that I’ve laughed and cried with. Brides I have calmed during […]
