I knew from the very start that Jamie and I would click very well. In her initial contact form when she first reached out to me, she mentioned that she dreams of her wedding day being filled with ALL things FALL! Pumpkins, sunflowers, mums, hay bales, ALL the things! And THAT made my heart skip a beat! I LOVE fall weddings so much, I even got married in the fall! So when these two decided to […]

Megan and Tom had the most perfect fall wedding day at Centennial Park in Munster, Indiana with everything you could imagine as far as the design elements go.

As I’m putting the wedding blog post together of Becca and Josh, and looking over all of the highlight images that I’m including, I keep catching myself with a silly little smile on my face. These two had one of the most relaxed and carefree wedding days I’ve seen in a while.

When their passion for helping people drove them to their job of working as a firefighter and paramedics, little did they know it would also bring them together with the very person they were going to marry.

Steve proposed to Alicia on a […]
Read moreMonica & Mike | Luxury Dusty Blue and Blush Wedding at The Meridian Banquets in Rolling Meadows, Illinois
Looking back at Monica and Mike’s wedding day, there are a lot of things that stick out in my mind. A LOT! But the one thing that sticks out the most, the way that Mike would look at his gorgeous bride. The way he would hold her hand, hug her, make sure she was always happy that day, and his VOWS! There was not a dry eye in the room. This man sure does love his lady, and it was so evident that day! […]
