I’ve had quite a few brides asking me if I have any videographers that I recommend latey. Yes, I think photography is an absolute must-have­ ­on your wedding day. That’s why I do what I do. But I do also recommend having a videographer as well – especially if your budget allows it. While photography freezes that special moment in […]

I met Stephanie on a snowy winter morning at Starbucks. We hit it off immediately and she was soon talking about hooking me up with one of her friends, to which I immediately told her I had a boyfriend, but it was sweet nonetheless.

Since Jackie + Mark’s adorable engagement session last fall, (which was also featured on Style Me Pretty Illinois), I have been closely following (ok, more like stalking) Jackie’s wedding Pinterest board, Facebook uploads, and Instagram posts on all her wedding crafting.

If I could sum up Elyce + Dan’s wedding reception at Ridge Country Club with one photo – it would be with this one. The dancing was original, spontaneous, and entertaining to say the least. And this is coming from someone who goes to A LOT of receptions and sees a lot of good (and some bad) […]

When I was at WPPI a few weeks ago listening Cliff Mautner give his presentation, he spoke about one of his blog topics: Photo of the Week. I, and one of my WPPI partner-in-crime buddies, Jordan, immediately and simultaneously scribbled it down in our notes. The whole idea was so simple, interesting, and relevant that it was a no-brainer […]
