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.

Erins Birthday!!!

Today is Erin's Birthday!
and So I wanted to write a blog about her!

Erin and I met over three years ago and even though our styles of art are very similar our personalities are very different.  I always admire Erin and her honesty and authenticity.  Erin is outspoken and will have no problem telling you she is wierded out by you, I know this because she tells me this all the time. She also has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. When we sat down and made out our business plan we wanted to  make a goal to shoot something  for free every month.  It was our way of helping where we could, and It has been Erin finding places to volunteer and  volunteering our work to benefits and coming up with ideas on how we can help people who need it. Erin makes me laugh about more random things than anyone else I know. I can always count on her to make a joke out of an awkward experience and it somehow makes the whole thing completely worth it just for the laugh. One time we were at a bar and she was helping me shoot a project I was working on for one of my classes and a woman came up out of nowhere and licked Erin's face, I thought for sure she was going to be upset about it because I would be if my personal space was invaded by a drunk woman but instead she had me cracking up about how she almost grabbed the woman's face and licked her back. This is why I love her.  Erin is also really gracious and self-less, I am in my last year at Columbia and Erin graduated from there as well and knows the demands both physically and mentally- she has been there to help me shoot projects, loan me lenses, offer encouragement, and bear a lot of the load of our work while I am in class, and I literally would have broken down in tears  weekly this semester if it wasn't for Erin being the voice of reason and offering advice.  Erin finds something good in everyone we photograph and after every session we shoot she is the first person to say "that girl had such beautiful eyes" or "you could tell how much he loves her" I love that Erin makes it a point to find the good in people, I think thats what makes her such a great photographer.
She is a great friend to those around her and I have noticed often that she will drop what she is doing to be there for the people in her life, She is a great wife always telling me how amazing she thinks Mickey is, even in his hooters hot pants. She is a strong, funny, beautiful, and interesting woman who I consider myself lucky to call a friend, let alone a buisness partner, but most of all she is a friggen Hoot!
So Happy Birthday to Erin, we love you!
feel free to leave comments on what you love about Erin or a funny Memory you have of her.
