CHICAGO JUST MARRIED SESSION ON FILM | ERIN & KEVIN

Here's where we confess that we wish all of our wedding couples decided to have a just married session! Erin & Kevin invited us to Chicago shortly after their wedding day for casual photos in their wedding attire, and we fell in love with the slow-paced lovey-dovey nature of this session! Let's break it down... you just married your best friend in the entire world and celebrated with your closest friends & family. You truly couldn't be happier!!! You might be missing all things wedding a bit, and you sure can attest to the fact that your wedding day is one of the fastest-moving most amazing and emotionally fulfilling days of your entire life. Why not take a moment to slow down, slip back into your wedding gown, and love on each other while remembering your day that went by in the blink of an eye! We couldn't possibly be more excited about these images that we created with Erin & Kevin! The Chicago skyline, the beach, and some of the most romantic light we have ever seen -- what more could we ask for?!  :)

JUST PLAIN THANKFUL

Amidst the craziness of our day-to-day life and constant efforts to grow both personally and in our business, it is easy to get so caught up that we don't slow down and recognize how amazing right now truly is. On a typical weekday morning we wake up around 7:30/8am, take Parker out, share a pot of coffee, respond to sweet client emails, prepare print orders, cull/edit our latest portrait session or wedding, design wedding albums, prepare + send out lovely packages to our clients, meet with newly engaged brides & grooms to-be, share images on our blog + social media, connect with our favorite wedding vendors, reach out to high school seniors, and of course sneak in a trip to Starbucks for our daily fix among all of these things... because, you know, that is a must in order to make our way through to-do lists. ;) But in between those check marks and exclamation points (yes, these lists are sprinkled with !!!), our days are also filled with some of my favorite moments: quality time spent with our puppy, smooches & tickle tortures with my hunny, non-stop smiling at the computer because I am so inspired by our clients and excited about the images we create together, listening to Butch sing along with every other song playing on Spotify, and watching over downtown Wausau from our new studio (which we have still yet to officially announce!).

The little things are not just highlights of any given day, but our favorite moments and the ones we are especially thankful for! This, in combination with our pure excitement for the incredible clients we have the honor of working with, is what inspires us and makes us want to create images that reflect couples in their natural state, energetic high school seniors, and wedding day moments that if uncaptured risk being lost forever. In both our personal lives and in our photography, this is what we shoot for -- unscripted out-takes filled with genuine emotion!

On that note, we wanted to take a trip down memory lane back to 2010 to share some of our favorite moments from Jody & Chris' University Club wedding in St Paul. We would love to hear what your favorite moments are... feel free to share :)
