Wedding Inspiration || Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve - Lemont, IL

Each time I do a styled shoot I am always amazed by the beauty that creatives can create. Anna Deblecourt reached out to me a few weeks ago looking to do a styled shoot at Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve in Lemont, IL. With the help of some crazy talented vendors, we were able to create something truly amazing. 

 Sarah Viktoria and Amelia C & Co did Anna's hair and makeup - Anna lip color even matched Gromeza Designs gorgeous florals! Mignonette Bridal contributed a stunning gown that flowed wildly throughout the shoot, and CharmCat  provided an invitation suite that brought the whole shoot together. And then of course, Anna Deblecourt made this rather hot day look like a total breeze - let me tell ya, she makes a stunning bride. Enjoy!

UPDATE: This shoot has been featured on Planning for Paradise!

Brittany || Elk Groove Village, IL Portrait Session

Spent this Fall afternoon sipping on coffee, snacking on blueberry muffins and capturing images of this gorgeous lady. Brittany (also a fellow photographer!) is such an amazing person and a light for the Lord. So thankful for this new friendship... and many more coffee dates to come!

Sandra + Andre || Wilmette, IL Engagement Session

Passion. If I had to describe this engagement session in one word, it would be passion. Sandra and Andre have a love for each other that it so playful, caring, real, passionate... And, they had no fear in showing it.
