When a fellow photographer contacts me to capture their special day it is a huge honor and fills me with joy! 

When I first met Ivana and Steven for their engagement session in Chicago, I couldn’t stop smiling – not only are they the cutest together, but you can see how much they are in love! They’re perfect for each other!!! This adorable couple is from Carmel, Indiana, but since they absolutely love Chicago they will be making their big move this year! 

Before Ivana and Steven fell for each other they lived in the same town and their friendship blossomed in their church’s youth group, and they even attended mission trips together! Ivana decided to go to Indiana University and Steven followed a year after. Their friendship stayed strong through and after college, with long distances between them with Steven studying abroad in Vienna and Ivana starting a job at Google in Ann Arbor. These two were meant to be as God has brought them together to share love and life. 

Their Ritz Charles Indiana wedding was absolutely beautiful and wouldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Ivana and Steven you two are the most caring, loving, and kind people! thank you for letting me be a part of your special day! I can’t wait for you guys to move to Chicago!!
