Last year, I photographed my first European wedding at the incredible Château De La Hulpe in Belgium, and it was LOVE. But first, story time!

Jessica and Sam’s wedding in the north Atrium of Artifact Events was an evening of simple elegance.

Cafe Brauer is where wedding dreams come true. I’ve had the pleasure of working at Cafe Brauer four times in 2016, and you better believe I’ll be back in 2017! The space is filled with charm and character that you can’t find anywhere else. I had the pleasure of meeting Annie and Ryan earlier this year and literally jumped for joy when they hired me to be their wedding photographer. These two are the sweetest couple I have ever met.

I’ve been dying…DYING… to share more from Jamie and Sam’s wedding day. What an unimaginably perfect, heart happy, love-filled, confetti flying, candlelit, one-of-a-kind wedding to end the 2018 season.

Joel and Megan planned to wed on July 11 and so they did. This wedding was a stunner and I think it goes to show that a wedding doesn’t have to be big to be special. The couple exchanged vows in front of their closest family and friends at St. Alphonsus and celebrated afterward with […]
