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.

Shannon and Ken



We got a little bit backed on the blog here at F/stop but we wanted to take the time to write about how much we loved Shannon and Ken.
I knew I was going to like Shannon the moment she told me she brought her Steelers Jersey to take photos in. That made my day.
Ken is a pro-golfer and Shannon works with kids with behavior problem at  juvenile detention center. When she told me this I almost fell out of my seat because I couldn’t believe someone as tiny and sweet as her had such a tough job, it gave me a whole new respect for her. Ken and Shannon were such good hearted people, you would have to be, to spend your days giving encouragement and help to kids who may have never experienced that before or being patient giving golf lessons to people who cant swing to save their lives.
I read a quote this week that I loved it said: Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other. (Rainer Maria Rilke)
I think Ken and Shannon were such a good example of that, two people with two different passions and drives and yet they encourage and root for one another. I have these two friends that are married and one is a huge Greenbay packers fan and the other loves the bears. This has resulted in many of quarrels as you can guess, but Shannon and Ken wore their separate Jerseys and never made a comment about the other person’s teams. That is love.
