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.

Chris and Samantha

I met Samantha when I shot Erika and Kyle's wedding a few weeks ago and when she told me she was getting married and wanted me to shoot her wedding, I was so excited because I thought she would make such a beautiful bride.
When we met up to talk about the wedding at starbucks I was delighted to meet Chris but even more so when he ordered a passion fruit tea and lemonade. I have an unhealthy love for all things to do with Tea in fact even as I wrote this I have already drank two pots of tea. I thought they were such a cute couple and didn't hold it against Chris when he told me he wasn't really in to having a ton of photos(as you could have probably guessed I am a big into photos)  he wanted the wedding to be simple, and beautiful and low stress.
To be honest I really liked that that the amount of photos wasn't what was important to them. I felt like they wanted their photographer to approach their wedding the same way they did. it was a challenge to me to tell the story of their day as simply as I could will less photos but more meaning.
It was a great experience for me as a photographer, not only by approaching their day differently than I normally would, but because they were so warm and loving to one another I really wanted to show what a beautiful couple they were.
Their wedding was incredible. It ended up raining and their ceremony had to be moved inside, but the soft light and gentle rain only added to the ambiance I thought.
I consider myself really fortunate to be a part of the day and to be able to tell their story with as few words as possible. 


























































 Congratulations to the newly married Couple and We wish you a lifetime of happiness... 
- Alicia
