Ahhhhh!!!! So excited to see another one of our weddings in the Winter 2013 edition of Inside Weddings. Lizzy & Brett were so excited to hear the news and we were excited for them. Their wedding was at one of my favorite venues in Chicago, The Standard Club, and was designed by Randy Schuster, their fabulous Event Planner. He did a fantastic job bringing the outdoors inside with huge trees dripping with orchids. Thank you Walt, Art and Marilyn at Inside Weddings for selecting our wedding. It's such an honor to be featured in a magazine that is so wildly respected.

So incredibly excited for so many reasons. I am an avid fan of the TV show The Bachelor + The Bachelorette. It's like, total shut down mode, turn off the lights, red wine in hand, drag my husband with me to watch this show! I mean... doesn't everyone do this? When we got the call from our dear friend, Mindy Weiss, Event Planner extraordinaire, to photograph one of my favorite Bachelorettes of all time, Ashley Hebert's wedding to fiancé, JP Rosenbaum, I was like a school girl all over again! I wanted to shout at the top of my lungs but of course had to keep it all top secret until the wedding was published.

For now, all I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW, how gracious the beautiful Ashely & JP are with each other and everyone they meet. And their families are so sweet. JP's mom.... ohhhh, I just wanted to squeeze her every time I'd see her. And Ashley's sister, five months pregnant and cute as can be. Their little, Boo, was the best behaved puppy ever! She is just adorable. Every single ounce of this wedding was designed with love. From the incredibly beautiful invitations, the 3 gorgeous wedding cakes, flowers galore, Mindy & her team didn't miss a beat. Ashley & JP said "I do" at beautiful Langham Huntington in Pasadena, California. Their wedding was absolutely dreamy. I can't wait to share way more photos that were taken, but will do that when the time is right.

Ashley and JP thank you so much for all your kind words throughout your wedding.... it was incredibly awesome to hear you ohhhing and ahhhhing over your photos the morning after. We loved that and can't thank you enough for trusting us to capture one of the most important days in your lives. Bob and I wish you so much happiness, I agree with Chris Harrison, you were meant to be!!!

A huge shout out to our 2nd shooter, Christine Bentley who rocked this wedding with Bob. It was no easy task sharing the floor with TV crews and such and she did a fantastic job making sure to capture the moments. Thank you girlie, we love you more than you know!

I soooo can't wait to share more photos but for now, Bob and I are so please to share their feature in People magazine. Oh and check out Ashley & JP's website... it's adorable!

We are thankful for the blessing God has graced us with and will always give Him the glory!

Much love!!!

They met on their fist day of law school orientation and the rest was history! During a trip to Hope Town Harbour in the Abaco Islands, John had a plan and Whitney had no idea. After spending the day at the beach, they headed back to their cottage to get ready for dinner. John poured champagne, lit a candle, and opened the doors of the cottage to have the view of the ocean. And she thought he was just being sweet. They toasted and then he said, "Do you really want to know what we're celebrating? We're celebrating spending the rest of our lives together." as he pulled out the little blue box, got down on one knee, and said, "Will you marry me?" She was very surprised and of course answered with a yes! What a wonderful, romantic surprise!

We are so thankful to Hope Weis, Event Planner, for introducing us to Whitney and John and their families. We met Whitney first at her apartment and then I met with her mom later. They were just the nicest women and I'm always so honored when we book a wedding with wonderful people. We photographed their engagement session right away with their cute dog, Mollie, who stole the show! It's hard to believe their wedding has come and gone... and all that is left is the wedding photos we had the honor of capturing.

We are blessed to have the most wonderful 2nd shooters such as, Jenn Guadrau, who shot this wedding with Bob. Thank you lovely Jenn!!!

Here's some images from Whitney & John's wedding... we hope you enjoy!

Much love!
