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.

Mike and Meagan 10-1- 2010

So why don’t you marry them?

Honestly, I love this couple that much where I would marry them.  If they would have me!  I met Mike and Meagan a long time ago through my good friend and I instantly liked them.   Meagan is the type of girl that will force you to have a good time in any situation and Mike is so sweet, funny  and lovable.   I mean who doesn't love a couple who does  their consult at a bar and  had margaritas at their engagement session.  I have loved that they made me feel more as a friend and less as their hired photographer.  Alicia and I had such a great time photographing their wedding.  

We started the day out at Meagan’s house where she was so full of emotions.  She went from laughing, to crying and back to laughing again.  She just kept saying, “I just want to get there’ and it was at the moment that I realized  just how much she loved Mike.   She was so excited to get there and to get married.  it was at that moment that I could see how happy she is with him and in their relationship.   I love that she knew that the moment she saw him she would be able to relax.  Through stressful wedding planning I spoke with Meagan a few times and she told me all the things that were going wrong with wedding planning, as they always do, but she always ended the conversation with ‘but Mike has been so great.  I can't wait to marry him.’  I loved that.  I loved that even though the m&m’s weren't right, or whatever else happened, she was still excited because she knew that it didn’t matter.  All that matter was that Mike was going to be there, with her, forever.








 






















This was one of the best parts of the ceremony.  Mike told Alicia and I before the ceremony that he was planning on surprising Meagan with two wedding bands.  So Alicia and I were on the lookout for Meagan's reaction when she saw that she was getting two wedding bands....





























 


 



 
So Mike and Meagan, I know the future holds great things for the two of you.  We wish you a very happy life together.  Margaritas soon?   Congrats!
