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.

Greg & Colleen


I’ve known the Sankowski family for a very long time.  Colleen and I were on the same baseball team when we were younger.  I think I was always jealous of how she always got to play the good positions but I am pretty sure that had something to do with her mom being our coach and nothing to do with that I am the most uncoordinated person in the world.  

Beautiful Bride - Colleen

Colleen and her dad - this photo makes me cry every time I see it


I was so honored to be asked to photograph Colleen and Greg’s wedding because the Sankowski family has been a big part of my life.  I can’t think about high school without memories of being at their house hanging out in the bonus room.

I love how cute they are.


During high school we would visit Sankowski’s at their home every Wednesday.  While, the guys would play cards with Mr and Mrs, the girls would be in the bonus room watching Dawnson’s Creek, secretly hoping that we would one day find a boy that loved us as much as Dawson loved Joey. 

Colleen found her Dawson.  



I love Colleen and Greg together.  They always seem to be laughing at some inside joke that no one else would understand.  I love how happy they make each other.  I love how they can look at each other and start laughing.  I love how Greg always kisses Colleen on the forehead.  

This was my favorite part of the whole ceremony.  It was at the  'peace be with you' part of the ceremony and Colleen and Greg couldn't share their first kiss as husband and wife yet.  They hugged, Greg kissed her head, and Colleen said 'I just want to kiss you'  I thought it was so cute that she couldn't wait any longer.


Colleen and Greg’s wedding started out as a beautiful sunny day but just after the ceremony there was a torrential downpour waiting for us and our outdoor photo session.  Alicia and I had to quickly come up with plan B and put it into action.  We went to the bowling alley, which for a lot of people, probably seems like a strange idea but Alicia and I knew how amazing the photos would look against the cosmic lights of Thunder bowl.  Colleen didn’t let the enormous amount of rain ruin her wedding day and by the time we got to the reception the sun was shinning again.  


We had so much fun with this crazy bridal party




They are so cute!



Colleen and Greg, I am so happy for you.  I wish you nothing but happiness together for the rest of your lives.  Congratulations!!
