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.

Happy New Years!

We wanted to take a quick moment this New Year’s Eve and reflect on how lucky we are that our Job is documenting love all year, and how thankful we are for all the sweet, beautiful, and best of all interesting couples we’ve had the pleasure of shooting in 2011.

We hope this next year brings so much more love, happiness, blessings and good times then this last year and we are so grateful we got to be a small part of this year in your lives.

Thank you All! And Happy New Year!!!!

Graham and Ysobel's engagement session

*I am humbled in this city
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets
In our rooms filled with laughter
We make hope from every small disaster
 
(*Painting by Chagall- the weepies)


We met with Ysobel and Graham on one of the first cold nights of the year. We ordered a bottle of wine, and began to talk and the time passed so fast I could hardly believe we were there to talk about wedding photography. They had us smiling and laughing and feeling warm. Their love story was adorable and told of two people with big dreams. exactly the kind of people we love working with. Ysobel and Graham met in college; they were both in the same Business fraternity. They fell in love slowly and soon their big dreams included each other, and before they knew it they didn’t want their big dreams to ever miss the other.  We are so excited to photograph their wedding! They are getting married in a Frank Lloyd Wright house. If anyone is familiar with his work you know he was a big dreamer that never let impossibilities stop him.  I think it’s a perfect place to start their marriage and kick off the next chapter of their adventure.

*“Everybody says "you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try."
Still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd fly like we do.”




























(we seriously had a blast this day, how can you not just love them?)

Doug and Angie

“You have my attention
Like you’ve had all the while,
Since that first day when you made my heart smile,
With loving eyes and tired sighs that follow.
You have my attention”
(you have my attention- copeland)

Doug and Angie both had lives full of stories and in the midst of living their lives, they found someone who caught their attention and kept it long enough realize they wanted to live their lives together, and share their stories and create a love story that was a perfect fit for them.
When you watch Doug and Angie you see why they work so well, Angie brings out the fun and laughter in Doug and offers strength and support.  And they both keep each other’s attention.
We hope you guys will be happy for years to come complimenting your differences, enjoying your common ground, and always keeping each other’s attention….
