Have you seen the world’s largest Tiffany Dome? It served as a magnificent backdrop for Rohan and Rachel’s beautiful fusion wedding at the Chicago Cultural Center 😍

Our studio has had the distinct honor of documenting this family’s milestones over the years, including Rohan’s sister’s wedding in 2016 and their cousin’s in 2023. It was wonderful to reconnect with everyone and see how the family has grown, especially the groom’s sister Prutha and her two little kiddos! In addition to tons of family portraits, we focused on capturing the grand architectural scale and true-to-life colors that define such a prestigious venue.

Tap the heart if you find this fusion ceremony as dreamy as we do!

Jack could have been remembered for the Super Bowl, the sacks, the spotlight.

But on this day, it was clear—his greatest victory is Ellie.

Her sunshine lit every room, his humility grounded every moment, and together they showed that love is the truest legacy. ✨

Sustainability doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the beauty, creativity, or luxury of your event.

It’s about making thoughtful choices at every step, from where your flowers are sourced to how they’re designed and what happens to them afterward.

Beautiful flowers. Better practices.

A little more intention behind every stem. 🌿

There’s something incredibly special about photographing the same milestones a decade apart.

I had the chance to photograph Alena’s 30th birthday, and ten years later, she reached out to me again to capture her 40th. Having clients return and trust me to document another chapter of their lives is truly one of the most meaningful parts of what I do.

This time, Alena celebrated with The Night Court — a stunning evening inspired by A Court of Thorns and Roses, with the book itself given to guests as a party favor. Every detail brought the theme to life, from the florals and starry touches to the silver-dusted berries.

But beyond all the beautiful details, it was the people who made the night unforgettable — emotional speeches, incredible Greek dancing that had everyone on the dance floor, lots of laughter, and absolutely outstanding food. It was one of those celebrations where you could truly feel how loved Alena is.

Happy 40th, Alena! 🥂 Thank you for bringing me back ten years later to capture another beautiful milestone. Here’s to the next decade!

There’s something about a fall wedding at The Honeycomb that feels straight out of a storybook. 🍂

Seasonal blooms, soft autumn tones, garden inspired arrangements framed by the Chicago skyline, and florals designed to feel completely at home in the landscape.

Set to Pride & Prejudice because this one deserved a little romance. 🤍

We’re thinking through mechanics, structure, weight, movement, scale, flower placement, color, and how the design will interact with the space. What looks chaotic behind the scenes is often a very intentional process.

And then, piece by piece, it comes together.

The best part? Seeing all those little decisions transform into something that feels effortless when the final design is in place.

So yes, sometimes you just have to trust the process.

Bright pinks, fuchsia, and a little old-school Chicago romance. 💕🌸

There’s something about wedding portraits at Union Station that just feels timeless, especially when our florals bring in a bold pop of color.

Gearing up for two weddings this weekend, and if they’re anything like this one, we’re in for a very good few days. ✨
