About Me

This is what happens when a poet meets an artist. Alicia and Erin share the same love for documentary photography, Mary Ellen Mark, vintage photographs and are both Columbia College of Chicago photography Major Graduates. They combined their similar loves with their different ways of seeing the world to create a wedding photography style that uses both of their unique visions. We take our work very seriously because we know that our photos have to last a lifetime. you won't get the boring, "stand here and smile" wedding photos because we know our photos should be as unique and fun as you are. We put much consideration and care into our clients because they always become our friends. Their day is as unique and important to us because we choose to only shoot a select number of weddings per year and we want those weddings to be with people we connect and share our vision with. It is our pure passion and joy to be able to be a part of your love story, and to create poetry with your wedding day images.

Amber and Brett

I have known Amber and her family since I was a kid. I use to babysit her and her brothers actually. Her dad was my youth pastor for a lot of years and so he and his family became like second family too me.
so when they asked me to photograph Amber's wedding I was delighted to be able to be apart of it and get to see everyone again.

what I did not expect was to get as emotional about it as I did. Their family is really close, and when Her father walked her down the aisle, I could feel the tears well up in my eyes as they did in everyone else's and I knew if I did not get a hold of myself all of their photos would be blurry so I had to pull it together quickly.
They're wedding day was unseasonably beautiful and warm for October which I especially was thankful for because had it not been I would have had the photographers nightmare of shooting in a black barn, in low lighting, with everyone wearing black dresses. We all got very lucky with the weather.

Amber and Brett have a whole life ahead of them that I was so glad I could be there for the first day of the beginning of that life as husband and wife. I wish them much happiness and fun!


weren't her shoes awesome.
