brittany + jeff: married!

What a gorgeous fall wedding Brittany and Jeff had in October. Their story is such a sweet one, they first noticed each other at Sullivan's restaurant, friends intervened to make the connection happen, and their first date at Symphony on the Prairie was when they both knew they had found "the One." It was a joyous, gorgeous, brisk fall day and I am so excited to share some favorites!


















Congrats to your beautiful new family!

shilpa + aaron: mendhi ceremony

Friday's Mehndi ceremony was the first of several events in the American/Indian wedding of Shilpa & Aaron. I must get to my other wedding editing but had to share a few favorites with you! (Sept 1-14 clients: full galleries will go live by this Friday, thanks for being patient with my internet issues this past week!)

our lovely bride arriving




Everyone had a chance to sit with the mendhi artist.


food was amazing...think this is called dhokla


the younger girls worked so hard to prepare a dance for the bride, it was so sweet!











The hostess had their own little dance floor in the corner of their basement. It was awesome! (You guys, I still have "Om Shanti Om" in my head...and on my iPod now!)


More to come from that weekend...check back soon!

laura + john: married

What a GORGEOUS day this past Saturday was to get married! Laura & John's morning wedding at the Church at the Crossing was so intimate, and the reception in the Crystal Terrace at the Columbia Club was stunningly beautiful in the daylight. Jim Cerone was the Master of Ceremonies...what a fabulous gentleman and host. Highly recommended!

It was an honor to be a part of Laura & John's joyous day together, you two are blessed with such a wonderful, loving family! Enjoy the sneak peek and if you did, let me know! I love comments!!! :)





It's official! (I'm still in disbelief that the weather was so mild and beautiful...ahhh!)

melissa & jeremy: part two

I had such an amazing time photographing Melissa & Jeremy's wedding. I was so happy to see my friend and client Chris Miller from Millenium Entertainment, Inc. was DJing, so I knew we were in for a great time! Chris has the most amazing staff working with him, and I absolutely love that they use slimline Bose speakers (no big boxy speakers ruining my photos and causing me to spend hours in Photoshop!)

Melissa & Jeremy had the most amazing black and white theme which is so elegant and edgy at the same time. Their placecards were to die for!


They made their grand entrance, my favorite part of a wedding day. Such a fun moment when everyone is relaxed yet so excited!

The cake was an absolute work of art. I need to find out who did it! It was just stunning.


There's just nothing like a parquet dance floor in your first dance pics.


Melissa and Jeremy share their wedding anniversary now with Melissa's parents, who were so adorably in love all day. Congratulations you two!


And the best part of the party? A group that was serious about gettin' down and letting it all hang out. I felt a little weird by not joining in the party! It was that contagious. I'll try my best to narrow it down to my faves. Enjoy!




The two dollar dance collectors up to something....

A couple from the bridal party just crazy about each other...so cute!

And everyone couldn't resist rocking out to Journey's "Separate Ways"


What a blast! When you guys getting married again????
