I wish this photo played audio of Kim's amazing laugh, but I think this shot is the next best thing

A little fun in the pretty light of a hotel lobby before eloping! Leaving buffer room in your wedding day timeline lets us make magic wherever it happens naturally.

Summer picnic elopement vibes? Yes please. Full disclosure? I keep this waterproof rainbow picnic blanket in the trunk of my Subaru and it may be the queerest sentence about me, but it's also sooo useful!

I can hear our mothers in my head. "Why this one? You can't even see your pretty faces! It's the backs of your heads! It's out of focus!". Well first of all, MOM, it's all intentional, and most importantly of all: images like this may not be ALL I deliver, but they round out a clean, tack sharp, posed wedding gallery in a way that I love. This moment, this energy, it called for something more than posed as it happened.
As Kim & Meagan rushed back into the hotel, breathless from their first look and on the way to check out before we went off to marry them in the woods, they kept squeezing each others hands and grinning so huge. The energy, the vibe there, this moment captured felt so dreamy and magical and this soft focus, motion-filled photo captures that so well! How do you feel about "blurry" photos in your gallery?

Time to Share a little more about who we are thankful for! 💕💕 We’re starting off with our administrative team who keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes 🤗

Meet Heather:
Most of you in the Midwest already know this pretty face—She literally does EVERYTHING 🤗😘

Heather will be helping manage our Chicago studio, along with coordinating all Extension rentals and and retail Purchases at our Midwest studio locations. She will help arrange distribution of touch up kits to your artists, and will also be in creating ALL of our day-of- wedding schedules, and will be in contact with our bridal beauties about this as we draw near to your wedding date!

Heather also does some killer nail art, gorgeous hair, and is a wizard with makeup. Plus, she’s just about the most genuine & nicest person you’ll ever meet! 💕

“Since I was in high school, I have always been obsessed with all things related to beauty. Growing up with a mom who advertised Mary Kay products, I was able to watch her host Mary Kay parties on the weekends, and my dad helped by driving us around to drop off products at clients’ homes. I loved it all that I started making my way into the beauty industry by learning about makeup and skin care products, going to school with different style hair-dos, and even doing my own at home manicures/acrylics. Since then, I received a certificate from London Eyes Makeup Academy for skincare and makeup application, worked as a makeup artist at Sephora for a year, freelanced for 10 years and have had my nail tech license for 2 years. When I’m not doing what I love, I live for any travel experiences, seeing the wonders of new places, trying new foods with different flavors, and enjoy being outside in nature!”

Foundations: Temptu, Estée Lauder, Dior, Tarte, and MAC

Favorite makeup lines are Tarte, Dior, Charlotte Tilbry, Lancôme, and Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Favorite hair products are Kendra, Big Sexy, and Redken.
