New Zealand is one incredible country. I’m not even sure what to say about this trip. As I’m sitting on my ninth airplane ride in the past three weeks, my final ticket home to Chicago, I’m at a loss of words. I’m sure over the next few weeks, months, and even years, my memories will […]

Looking back through 2016 – I’m at a loss of words. Like most years, it was a whirlwind. I blinked and it was Christmas. I remember being at the mid-point of the season thinking, ‘okay – I have 10 weddings left.’  Then all of a sudden it was 3, 2, 1… and here we are. […]

To say that this day was full of emotions is an understatement. Just thinking back on the day and looking through the photos – every single photo is jam packed with all the feels. Laughter, tears of happiness, pure joy, appreciation for each other, and nostalgia filled the garden for Suzanne + Mark. Surrounded by their […]

Michelle + Brenton met through a mutual friend, who served as the Maid of Honor on their wedding day. It was a wedding party full of their closest friends and family – Brenton even making his three sisters his ‘groomsmaids’. The morning started at Arch Apothecary in Old Town, where Michelle got prettied up by […]

Alison + Zach have one of those love stories from the movies. Thirteen year old boy meets girl. They date for three weeks, until Zach thinks Alison is dating him to gain popularity. Boy breaks girls heart. Until, the universe brings them together again in high school, only for them to be ripped apart again […]

Tori + Ryan, I’m super excited to work together. From our meeting at Soho House, to your emails, to […]
