Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort Wedding | Carrie and Eran
Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort Wedding | Carrie and Eran

I’m so excited that these two were featured on Smashing The Glass! Go check out their featured post!

It’s not every day that a groom says, “will you marry me?” and “I do” in the exact same spot. But when Eran asked Carrie to marry him at the beautiful Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort, he suspected they’d be back for a Mount Princeton wedding celebration! I loved photographing Carrie and Eran’s beautiful wedding at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort. They chose all-day coverage, so I was able to stay until the very end of the night, capturing every unforgettable moment.

Snowy Wedding at The Manor House in Littleton, Colorado | Alex and Wyatt

Alex and Wyatt’s beautifully snowy wedding at The Manor House in Littleton, CO, was the perfect mix of class and Colorado mountains! It was late May, the perfect time for a beautiful spring wedding. Only, Mother Nature had other plans—she wanted to wear white for Alex’s big day, too. That’s right. It snowed! What a typical Colorado thing to happen!

Chic City Wedding at Bridgeport Art Center, Chicago | Amanda and Brian

Amanda and Brian’s love story began in high school, and with Brian’s teddy-bear heart and Amanda’s genuine and warm soul, it didn’t take them long to realize they were a perfect match! From the moment I met them, I was drawn to the way they wear their hearts on their sleeves, openly sharing their sincere emotions with each other and with me! I had a feeling right away that their Bridgeport Art Center wedding day was going to be filled with moments I’d never forget!

Tabor Hill Winery summer Wedding in Michigan | Karen and Kyle
Tabor Hill Winery summer Wedding in Michigan | Karen and Kyle

At this summery Michigan bash, “flower men” replaced “flower girls,” handing out McDonald’s cheeseburgers rather than tossing flowers. It was definitely not your average wedding day! But after tons of Covid-required reschedules, who has time to waste being average!? Karen and Kyle infused their personalities into every aspect of their Tabor Hill Winery wedding in Buchannan, MI. And I can’t wait to give you a peek inside!

Pink and Navy filled Wedding at Coto Valley Country Club | Jordyn and Matt

They say that when you know, you know. That’s how Jordyn and Matt felt when they met on a night out dancing at Moonshine Beach. To honor their love for dancing, the couple filled their May 2021 wedding at Coto Valley Country Club with dancing of all kinds, from intimate choreographed dances to full group hurrahs to the tune of “We Are Family.” Basically, it was the most fun celebration ever!

Intimate Backyard Wedding in Colorado | Emma and Aaron
Intimate Backyard Wedding in Colorado | Emma and Aaron

Emma and Aaron are exactly the kind of adventurous but laid-back couple I can’t get enough of. These two spent the first year of their relationship traveling together to decide if they were “the one” (they were, of course!). Even though they’ve traveled all over, they chose to have their October 2020 wedding back home in Denver. But due to COVID restrictions, they had to adjust their original plan and postponed their bigger bash to September 2021. They didn’t want to cancel altogether, however, so, like many couples in the last two years, they opted for two weddings! And lucky me—I was invited to document both!

Boulder Creek by Wedgewood Brunch Wedding in Boulder, Co | Shannon and Robert
Boulder Creek by Wedgewood Brunch Wedding in Boulder, Co | Shannon and Robert

It’s not every day that I get to photograph not only a brunch wedding in the middle of fall at the incredible picturesque Boulder Creek by Wedgewood Weddings in Boulder, Co; but also a wedding for two dear friends. Shannon and Robert aimed for something low key and inviting, thus the bacon filled brunch, but far enough into the mountains to make it feel remote.

Gardens of Woodstock Wedding in Woodstock, IL | Valerie and Cody
Gardens of Woodstock Wedding in Woodstock, IL | Valerie and Cody

This highly anticipated Illinois wedding was the brain child of Valerie and Cody’s long years of planning, and quite a few tweaks a long the way. With the ceremony held at historical St. Peter's Catholic Church in Volo, IL and their reception at the picturesque outdoor Gardens of Woodstock in Woodstock, IL, I’m glad it was able to come together without a hitch.

Loft Lucia Intimate Wedding in Chicago, IL | Carol and Kevin
Loft Lucia Intimate Wedding in Chicago, IL | Carol and Kevin

Neither Covid, or a rainy Chicago fall day could stop Carol and Kevin from getting married this year. Carol and Kevin were married at an intimate ceremony at Loft Lucia in downtown Chicago, Illinois. When their 150 guest count was brought down to 30, these two focused on a relaxed and intimate wedding vibe. Alas, the only individual missing was their dog Mango, but Carol and Kevin were happy to bring their closest friends and family together for their important day; even if they would rather have stayed out of the lime light. Having not only cut their guest list to legal limits, Carol and Kevin also switched venues to accommodate the reduced guest count, and spaced their table adequately a part so all attendees were comfortable.

Kilbuck Creek fall wedding in Monroe Center, IL | Becca and Mike
Kilbuck Creek fall wedding in Monroe Center, IL | Becca and Mike

Becca and Mike had an incredible fall wedding at Kilbuck Creek in Monroe Center, IL, and even a little bit of rain could not put a damper on the festivities. It’s hard to decorate a venue as beautiful as Kilbuck Creek, when the surrounding nature does all of the work for you. Leaves were falling from the trees right up until the moment we had to run inside due to rain, and even that did not stop anyone from partying the night away. Becca and Mike had originally toured a ton of venues closer to their home in Chicago, IL, but I am so glad that ended up at Kilbuck Creek for their wedding, as this picturesque venue is truly one of a kind!

Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village Wedding in Sedona, Az | Alisha and Kyle
Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village Wedding in Sedona, Az | Alisha and Kyle

Destination weddings are my favorite, and Alisha and Kyle’s beautiful wedding in Sedona was featured on Destination I Do!

When I heard that Alisha and Kyle were having a destination wedding in Sedona, Az at Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, I was the epitome of excited for so many reasons. The colors were amazing, and they based their entire wedding decor around the setting sunset of Sedona, Az; pairing fall colors heavily with greenery. But truly, the first reason being that Alisha and I grew up together, and watching people I know grow up into beautiful adult versions of their childhood selves is my favorite thing of being in the wedding industry.

Bella Vista Groves Wedding in Fillmore, Ca | Rachel and Jon

I could share this Bella Vista Groves wedding in Fillmore, California all day every day. Filled with navy blue accents, sunset kisses, and tons of tears; Rachel and Jon could not have had a more beautiful, heart wrenching Southern California fall wedding if they tried. I was lucky to be a part of their team of vendors, that they frequently referred to as ‘The Dream Team’ and with how beautiful the decor for this day turned out, they had to be right.

Danni and Adam had an absolutely stunning fall wedding at the Coto Valley Country Club in Trabuco Canyon, Ca. The Coto Valley Country Club is hidden behind the gates of the luxurious Coto de Caza community, home to events from the 1984 Summer Olympics! Danni and Adam chose to decorate this already picturesque venue with blush and champagne flowers, although it truly was not necessary as the trees were bursting with fall colors.

Victoria in the Park Wedding in Mt Prospect, IL | Tia and Mike

It felt like the entire world aligned just right for Tia and Mike’s wedding at Victoria in the Park in Mt Prospect, IL. With their ceremony held at St Paul of the Cross in Park Ridge, IL, and portraits taken at the Dominican University in River Forest, IL; it was definitely an adventure! With a color palette of of blushes and champagne, the decor looked straight out of a fairy-tale. Easily one of my favorite moments of the day was watching the two them enter their reception space, and just gasp at the beautiful display that all of their dreaming had created.

Vintage Greenhouse Wedding at 2400 On The River in Georgia
Vintage Greenhouse Wedding at 2400 On The River in Georgia

What is more beautiful than a wedding next to the river in a greenhouse? A wedding in a greenhouse bought in an auction from Euro Disney by the owner of 2400 On The River in Ranger, Georgia! I cannot imagine a more beautiful location to have a vintage inspired greenhouse wedding then here. Not every wedding needs a million people, and for these two they chose their dream location in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and combined it with their love of vintage decor.

Destination backyard Wedding by the American River | Sarah Elizabeth and Aurel
Destination backyard Wedding by the American River | Sarah Elizabeth and Aurel

Sarah Elizabeth and Aurel had an incredible intimate destination backyard wedding in Carmichael, California overlooking the American River. Carmichael is a small city outside of Sacramento, and not one that most people would associate with a destination wedding- but I am here to prove all you naysayers wrong. After meeting on Bumble and sharing an incredible first date, they shared that “we've been inseparable ever since,” leading us to this once in a lifetime wedding location. Traveling from Austin, Texas; these two combined Aurel’s Romanian culture and Sarah Elizabeth’s love of the American River to create one unique and unforgettable romantic wedding.

I occasionally get the chance to participate in a beautiful wedding photo shoot with other photographers at venues like SKYLIGHT in Denver, Colorado! For this particular day, we went for a modern blush and gold vibe, utilizing the open space to play with boho elements and lots of hanging greenery. Known specifically as Denver’s most versatile event venue, SKYLIGHT combines white brick walls and an abundance of light to create a blank canvas for any couple to design their dream wedding!

Lauren and Will’s summer Cantigny Park wedding in Wheaton, IL was what every Illinois bride could hope for! With a stunning post-rain ceremony on the Cantigny East Lawn, portraits around the Rose Garden, and an evening filled with dancing in the Red Oak Room, this wedding was definitely one to be remembered. The only thing missing from this otherwise perfect day was the precense of Lauren and Will’s beautiful pups Lucy and Watson. Lucy was recently featured on Daily Dog Tag if you need to know what all her cuteness entails!

I love this couple and their wedding, and love even more that they were featured on Bridal Musings!

What made Emily and Matt's wedding day special at Quail Ranch in Simi Valley, Ca was their dream to have the perfect unperfect wedding that reflected their love and unconventional relationship. Emily dreamed of an unpolished look, fulfilling it with mismatched rose and cream bridesmaid dresses and free-form cascading bouquets. The two of them also dreamed of an outdoor wedding!

Rainy Wedding at Serendipity Garden Weddings in Oak Glen, Ca | Gaby and Josh

Serendipity Gardens is an amazing place, and I love that Gaby and Josh were featured on Wedding Chicks!

Gaby and Josh’s wedding at Serendipity Garden Weddings in Oak Glen, Ca was meant to be the epitome of simple and romantic, but I would say the day was anything but simple! When a Southern California rain storm swept through the area with warnings of floods, the whole wedding day had to change plans quickly, in true wedding fashion. Even with torrential downpour on the horizon, you could absolutely not tell by the love between these two. Having been together since High School, Gaby and Josh knew that they had waited long enough to get married, and made the best of a wet situation. Luckily for everyone, the rain storm subsided as quickly as it came, and we were able to have the wedding that they always dreamed of.
