Kirsten + Rusty Wedding - Cantigny Gardens, Wheaton Illinois Wedding - {Destination Wedding Photography}

Where do I even begin with this beautiful wedding day - as a practically sister, cousin, bridesmaid and photographer...Kirsten and Rusty are finally married. I can't believe my baby cousin is married, and not only just married but to her grade school boyfriend, love of her life.  The boyfriend that she swore for so many years was just a friend. It was one of those boy meets girl and slowly over many many years they build a foundation of love, trust and passion. This wedding was such a sweet story of all the memories they had together and all the memories to come, as this is the beginning all over again. Thank you for having me capture it, to be the one behind the camera and doing a bit of a circus act to be in front of the camera as well. It was a perfect day with perfect clouds and perfect love. xoxo

Thank you to Rebecca and Becky for shooting with me and finding that golden light in the beautiful Chicago clouds. James and team - ALWAYS a pleasure to work by your side - can't wait to see the video!

Laura + John Engaged! - Dolores Park & Twin Peaks Engagement Session - {Bay Area Wedding Photographer}

Ironically when my husband and I got married back in 2011 we had no one to watch our pups and I called on the sweet nurse who worked at our vet to watch them, turns out two years later this sweet nurse is now getting married. I had a blast with them going around Dolores Park and Twin Peaks...we were worried about the fog on this hot SF day but we managed to just escape it for some fun shots. I love that we ran back to their house quickly to do a few shots with their huge, lovable dog Stoli! He will be one of the spotlights in the wedding as well. Can't wait for your big day in November - enjoy the highlights!
