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.

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years...

"Sometimes I’m tempted to believe life doesn’t mean any-thing at all. I’ve read philosophers who say meaningful experiences are purely subjective, and I understand why they believe that, because you can’t prove life and love and death are anything more than random happenings. But then you start thinking about some of the scenes you’ve lived, and if you've had a couple of drinks, they have a sentimental quality that gets you believing we are all poems coming out of the mud."



I have been re-reading "A million Miles in a thousand years" by Donald Miller while on the train.The book is about living a good story by living with purpose. Its beautifully written and funny.
In one chapter he says usually people who say "life has no meaning"  really mean "my life has no meaning." And I liked that. I like that we can choose to wake up every day and some days fail, and some days crawl into bed defeated to go back to sleep, but deep down we know that, that one day doesn't define us.  That we are the sum of all of our days and we keep going. we keep pushing, keep hoping, keep exploring, keep making mistakes, and keep fighting, and come out of the mud, poems- dedicated to the things and people we love.
