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.

what the water gave me...







We love trash the dress sessions.  The dress is the Holy Grail on the day of your wedding so its not often you are able to roll around in it, and get it dirty. I can completely understand the desire to hold on to such an important dress but on the flip side I love when brides make something beautiful and artistic with their dress afterwards. After all Its not so much the dress that’s important as the memories of marrying the one you love.  Sometimes its nice to be reminded of that.

Kristina is a photographers dream to shoot, not only is she stunning but on top of that she is willing to trust us when we say “how about we put you in a waterfall, on this really chilly day, while wearing your wedding dress” A photographer couldn’t ask for a better subject when they trust your vision that whole heartedly. We absolutely love her (and Anthony for humoring us and rolling up his jeans for a few photos.)  After the shoot Kristina was near pneumonia and when Erin saw here weeks later, we felt awful that we were partially to blame for her getting sick, and Kristina just said “its ok the photos are going to be amazing!” How lucky are we to have gotten to be her photographers.

Thanks so much for your dedication and enthusiasm Kristina. You are truly beautiful. Inside and out.
