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.

The eagles, beer and true love.


"And even if there was a king-size bed
Where I can stretch my legs and lie my head
All by myself, in the darkest room
Just know, that no matter what the options are
I choose . . .
The air mattress with you"

(the air mattress with you- Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band)

Ellen and Dan can be summed up in one word:  Fun.
They are the kind of couple that everyone wants to go on a double date with.  At their consult I knew we were going to have a blast shooting them when they told us funny stories about their first few dates.  And Dan gives hope to all the guys out there who meet cute girls at a bar who, at first, pretends to be dating the girl friend she is with to get you to leave her alone. And luckily for Dan his persistence paid off and he got to take Ellen out on a first date, to his tree farm where they drank beers and talked until the sun came up in the back of his truck under the stars.

Dan decided to proposed to Ellen on the day that he did because they are huge eagles fans, and the eagles were losing, and he said to himself “f they win, I am going to ask her to marry me” and as you can guess the eagles came back from a huge set back and won the game, and Dan won her heart.

And Ellen found out love doesn’t have a type.  And even though she was a city girl she fell for a boy who rides a John Deere and loves her like crazy.
