Read MoreThis wedding was part of a giveaway we hosted. The pandemic was a negative, and stressful time for a lot of people, and we wanted to say thanks to any “heroes” during the pandemic. The giveaway was hosted on Instagram, and people nominated heroic, engaged friends to win a free wedding! Everyone voted and Salena’s story won. Salena is a frontline worker that works with autistic kids, and had a very special connection with a family’s son in particular. Jess and Salena were never able to have the proper wedding they wanted due to schedules, and then the pandemic. It was such an amazing experience to give this lovely couple something positive to remember in 2020. You can read more about the story on The Daily Herald.
Read MoreAs a wedding planner based in Chicago and plans weddings all over the country, we have worked with all kinds of couples and have heard the experiences of LGBTQ+, multiracial, and multicultural couples. The wedding industry still has a long way to go. Many publications, blogs, vendors, and documents have binary language. Many vendors are not educated about gender pronouns. Marketing for weddings is still often photos of white, straight, cis-gendered couples. When couples don’t see themselves represented it can make wedding planning very challenging and lessen the excitement of the big day.

Read MoreIn this styled shoot we took inspiration from the style of Vaudeville, and created a glamor, glitz, and show stopping wedding with the vintage qualities of the 1920’s. Vaudeville was very popular in the US from the 1880’s to the 1930’s. Originally it was comedy without psychological or moral intentions, and it would typically include performances such as magic, dance, stunt performers, burlesque, and more. In our shoot, we wanted to incorporate as many performance spectacles as we could. The Logan Theatre where we took the photos, was built in 1915 and became “The Logan Theatre” in 1922. It still has it’s vintage charm, and we knew it would be the perfect place to capture the feel of the 1920’s.
