Friends, meet Nadia and Brendan! I met these two for the very first time in person (outside of a FaceTime date!) at their downtown Chicago engagement session. These two found my work online late last summer, and it’s times like this that I am forever thankful for a Google search that leads me to couples […]

Engagement sessions are starting in full swing again as the weather hopefully turns warmer and STAYS warmer with the springtime season approaching. Meet Stephanie and Harith! I connected with these two through my favorite ladies at Elite Bridal in Champaign. These two are kind, down to earth, and fun! Their story goes back to their […]

This wedding day was the perfect start to the 2019 wedding season! Introducing the first newlyweds of this wedding season – Heather and Austin! You might remember these two from their fall engagement session (heart eyes!), and I’m sure you remember that these two are some of the sweetest souls. Heather and Austin met on […]

Happy March to you! And since I forgot to share this monthly recap last Monday (facepalm!), it’s still coming your way today! The month of February started out in the best way possible… AT THE BEACH!

Eeeek… I LOVE wedding styles + themes! There are so many ideas, trends, and unique touches that each and every wedding offers. But, how do you go about defining your wedding style?   Ask yourself… How would you describe your style? What colors/textures are you drawn to? Are you focusing on a theme? What do you […]

Kyle and I formed our friendship with Brandy and Brandon when we were living in Jacksonville and attending Illinois College… And we are so thankful for these sweet souls! These two made Florida their home after graduation and love visitors! So, when I was in Florida at the start of February for a quick weekend, […]

Within the last few years, I have had the honor to go alongside my best friends, sister-in-law, and other family members as they shopped for wedding dresses! Goodness, these days make me gush with happiness to be there to support my friends and to experience weddings from another perspective. You probably already guessed it, but […]

I’ll admit it, over the past year or two “self care” has maybe become a popular buzzword in the creative world. And while that may make it seem like it’s some fad that will come and go, I truly don’t believe that’s the case here. In my experience, self care is vital to the success […]
