Alexys and David have a special place… it’s not only where they went many times while coming of age, but they met here and he even proposed to her here! And I give David props for his timing- on a beautiful snowy morning he woke her up, got the dogs in the car and drove […]

After a few unsuccessful dates (or maybe more than a few), Vladik decided to do something bold.

It’s hard not to love Salvage One, in fact the interior impressed Monica and Ben so much that they chose it for their wedding location AND their engagement photos. I was like a kid in a candy store… beautiful space and a beautiful couple- pretty freakin’ perfect! Monica looked stunning, and Ben cleaned up quite […]
Hillary and Matt- Sky Blue Sky
Whether it was the warm summer days or the good music floating along the breeze, taking a job at the Ravinia a few summers ago turned out to be a very good decision. As Wilco jammed on stage there was a new love blossoming, Hillary and Matt were falling for each other. They are a […]
