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.

that one time we were eskimos...

Erin and I went to Chicago to photograph the most adorable couple Friday and the whole time we gushed at how crazy it is we get to do these fun things for a living.
It was a normal cold winter day in Chicago so we hunkered down and braved the elements at the thought of great photos.  Erin said I looked like an Eskimo in my Russian hat, but she likes me enough to still be seen with me... sort of. 




The first place we went too was millennium park. Erin and I said how romantic it was to skate here with the greatest city in the world directly behind us. Erin said she wanted Mickey to take her there so she could hold  hands and skate eight grade dance style around the rink. the cheesy things are always the cutest.
Anthony and Jenny were especially cute. Anthony was a bit more confident on skates but Jenny held her own and I was convinced everyone kept looking at them not because they had a paparazzi entourage but because they were just so cute together and it was obvious. 



 

Erin said I looked like a midget bird. ha.










after that we headed to North Ave Beach. It is a strange experience to go to a beach in the middle of winter. Everything was frozen, peaceful and beautiful, where there is normally a crowd and the smell of hot dogs and tanning oil. It was a trip. 

 
 






However a diss for North Ave is their crappy pay system for their parking.
I was getting a little irate that their machine was not working, and being the self-proclaimed rebel that I am, I  just squeezed my tiny car around the arm and stuck it to the man.
Take that Parking Czars! 



Erin found this a lot more risky than I did and we had a good laugh. Jenny and Anthony did the same thing after us though, and I instantly liked them more.

We ended the shoot going to Wrigley field to shoot inside.  The cubs are a client of Jenny's and she wanted a few photos in the field and it was a crazy experience once again being at a place that holds so many people and so much life in the dead of winter with not a soul there. But Maybe that's what Love feels like.  like you are the only two people in the world anyway.
