Ben and Marisa's Engagement Session

It was particularly meaningful for me to do Ben and Marisa's engagement session a few weeks ago.  Ben is my older brother, and Marisa is his lovely fiance. I am so excited for their wedding next year, and am proud to be standing up in their wedding as Ben's Best Man.  It'll be a change to be a participant in a wedding, and I am honored!

Here are a few photos from their session in our hometown, Ottawa, IL.

Amiee and Brian's Wedding

Amiee and Brian had such an incredible wedding that I couldn't wait to get it up on our blog!  Their relaxed ceremony and reception had absolutely flawless, unassuming details, and I loved capturing the ambiance of their venue, Maude's Liquor Bar. Can you believe how beautiful Amiee's dress is?  So stunning.

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from their day:

Amiee's Mendhi Party

I was thrilled when I first spoke with Amiee about her and Bryan's culture-infused wedding.  To kick off the festivities, I was invited to join them at Amiee's Mendhi Party held in the Trump Towers.  This was such a great time to get to know our beautiful bride, and appreciate the incredible beauty of  henna artistry. Here are just a few of my images from the evening:

Stay tuned for more from Amiee and Bryan's wedding!
