Travis and Stephanie met in the college dorms at the University of Chicago. Their chemistry was undeniable from the first time they met; however, dating Stephanie would violate Travis’ #1 rule as a college senior – NO DATING FRESHMAN. After months of flirting, Travis finally decided to break his own rules and they started dating in April 2007. Two months later, Travis graduated and moved to St. Louis for graduate school while Stephanie finished her degree in Chicago. They continued to date long-distance for 7 years as they pursued their careers in different states. Travis traveled back and forth between St. Louis and Chicago almost every weekend. In 2014, Travis followed Stephanie to LA so they could finally live together and get married. Their August 2014 Chicago wedding was an absolute dream, but tragically the photos didn’t turn out. The devastation of the photography nightmare was quickly cast aside as they got pregnant with their first child. Now, nearly two years after the wedding, they finally have wedding photos that reflect the true magic and romance of their wedding day!
We are so honored to have been a part of this beautiful anniversary session. Travis & Stephanie came to us to photograph their wedding day a few years after their wedding. They wanted a beautiful fairytale to commemorate their love. We are so honored and blessed to help them have their fairytale dream wedding photos!





























This wedding was a long awaited day for me.
I met Helen last year in Seattle at my optometrist`s office (far away, I know...) who is the receptionist there. She was the sweetest, most compassionate and fun-loving person to navigate a confusing new part of my journey as someone who now wears glasses permanently. In any case, she and I have gotten to know each other through the process of glasses+weddings (such a funny combo!). I have watched her journey and gotten to know so much about the depth of how she cares for people, and its so so beautiful.
She`s one of the youngest brides I have ever worked with, and it has shown me SO MUCH about my next generation of brides and how I CANNOT WAIT for those weddings coming soon. The energy coming into the next era of weddings is so fresh and blissful, Something we all need much more of in the world.
Helen, Youre a gem. I`m so thoroughly grateful for you and the fun stories we have created together.
Cheers to Helen and all the brides getting married in this era! WOO!
Had the absolute pleasure of taking pictures of my friends and neighbors who have been the most welcoming and lovely people to live near.
The fact that my little family gets to share life with these warm and thoughtful humans is what I have always dreamed about. I`m so grateful they trusted me to capture these portraits for them at the cutest lake down the road. Its wild how beautiful this place is!
People, nature, and all the love. Its doesn`t get better.
Question: Would you willingly get lost in a hedge maze to get these shots?
Answer: Yes. Every time.
Ivy manor had all the stops for a magical wedding. Including their hedge maze, they had hidden stone houses, ivy covered pathways, iron gates, rose gardens, and castle-themed everything. if youre looking for a fairytale wedding, this is it.
Sometimes I cant even believe this is real life.
The fact that I get to be in these magical places so often, it becomes part of daily life and I can`t belive it. When I talk about it I often have to re-rememember that this isn`t normal and im incredibly lucky to see magic endlessly.
Anyways, visit the Colombia Gorge. Its the most magical place.
