Patrick & Krystal :: Engaged

I had so much fun with these two in San Francisco.  They both live in Chicago currently but are getting married in Berkley at the end of this year and I cannot wait until their big day!

Part 2 of this amazing day!

Dave & Sara :: Married in Tuscany, Italy Part 1 :: Destination Wedding Photographer

To say this wedding was absolutely amazing would be an understatement.  Sara has been dreaming about this day for a very long time.  Ever since she saw a wedding featured on Style Me Pretty at a Tuscany Villa, she has dreamed of marrying Dave  in Tuscany.  When she got engaged she contacted the Villa that was featured and found out they have a sister site, Villa IL Pozzo that Sara instantly fell in love with.  The Villa sits on a hillside overlooking the Tuscany rolling hills, and every way we turned there was a breathtaking view!  Sara hired the most amazing crew for her wedding day as well.  Ilaria with Glam Events in Tuscany, styled her wedding with an old-fashioned table of cigars and whiskeys, a single line of lights over an intimate imperial table, and delicate little lanterns in the large tree between dance floor and dinner lawn incorporated some American style into a genuine slice of Tuscany.

Arriving at the Villa on the first night, which was a few days before the wedding day, felt like we were in a dream.Scott and I arrived 3 days prior to the wedding and were able to stay at the Villa the whole time we were there, which was just amazing because I was able to spend those days leading up to the wedding finding all of my favorite spots for the wedding day.  There were just too many amazing photos to post that this is just part 1 of 2 from this gorgeous day!  Stay tuned for part 2 as well as a gorgeous Tuscany engagement session from one of my other fabulous couples (who are friends with Dave and Sara) as well as our personal experiences/pictures from Italy.  Enjoy!

And yes, spit up does happen.

Josh & Karlie :: The Proposal

One of the last nights in Tuscany, everyone got together for an appetizer party at the Villa where most were staying at to mingle and just hang out.  Josh had told me a few days prior that he was planning on proposing to his girlfriend, Karlie at some point that week but wasn’t sure when.  I told him once he decided to give me a heads up so I could hide in the bushes and photograph it.  So I literally was in the bushes capturing the very moment he proposed!  I feel so honored to have been able to document this special time for them and I’m looking forward to doing an actual engagement session with them sometime in the near future!
