We met on the Chicago River since they really […]

I met Marisa + Ryan last year from a referral from my girl, Brittany Bekas. I sat and chatted with them at a local Starbucks, and as I sipped on my latte I could tell how in love they were. Their proposal story alone shows how much time and effort Ryan put into proposing to […]

Jenny + Kevin met in PT school at St. Louis university. They started dating when they were abroad in Italy – which is where they’re going to return for their honeymoon. During the session, Jenny told me it was the perfect spot for them because their favorite thing is wine and Italian food. Which is probably […]
