There’s a heart drawn around his 6th grade yearbook picture.  Though life would take them down different roads for a season – her 6th grade self was right – he was the one. Sometimes our hearts know their home long before our heads do.  And slowly – they realized that they were always and forever […]

alexa and ryan: wedding at marco ocean beach resort

She walked down the aisle and called his name. He turned, unable to utter words, but a smile that said more than words could ever capture. He wrapped his arms around her and there, in this quiet moment, the world stopped.  There, at the altar, they prayed and thanked God for this day and this […]

kelly and joe: wheaton just us session

You two… I love you both to the moon and back at least 1,572 times.  Actually, that’s probably not enough.  And here’s the thing: everyone who knows you feels the same way.  Why? I have a few suspicions. 1.  Your crazy, awesome dance moves. 2.  Your selfie stick.  It’s all the rage after all. 3.  […]

Morgan and Sean: Skyline Loft Wedding

  Amidst stained glass windows aglow with light trickling through, family and friends glowing, and a couple holding hands dressed in a lace-covered white dress and handsome grey suit, the priest spoke our hearts: that this couple we were here to celebrate is telling a story of love.  He spoke of how these two amazing […]

happy anniversary: caroline and jr

All of us had prayed for no rain.  However, the weather stations kept mentioning 80% chances and other gloomy forecasts. But throughout the morning, there was creamy light and no sign of rain ahead.  Dresses were adorned, hugs were shared and flower girls twirled in their beautiful dresses. Gia walked down the aisle, arm in […]
