Michael + Theresa | Three

One of the most laid back weddings I’ve had the chance to take part in. Michael and Theresa really made it easy for us. Everything ran smoothly aligned to the itinerary, not because they were strict on schedule but because Michael and Theresa allowed for great amounts of time for each part of the day. I felt that Michael and Theresa were not too focused on the wedding day but the life-long marriage ahead. May their relationship be one of three people and not two.

Thanks again for having us.

Hope ya dig.

Jonathan + Bianca | Always

Being the food-lover that I am, sometimes I’ll ask others what their last meal would look like. Asking someone what their ‘favorites’ would be too tough of a question because there are so many choices! BUT…the last meal should be simple. Bianca responded with: pizza, pozole (Mexican stew), Thai curry, lobster and ice cream. From that instance, I knew we would get along. Not having able to meet them in person since they reside in Minnesota, we had a friendly video chat through google. They shared with me their love for travel, food, adventure, and most importantly, each other. After meeting them in person, I would say these two have a lot of chemistry. With so much going on during their day, it was actually hard for me to choose what went into the highlight and what had to wait for their film. Check out their portrait film here.

Hope you dig.

Ajay + Karishma | Keep Marchin’ On

Prior to this wedding, we’ve only done traditional american weddings. I was pretty excited when Ajay and Karishma approached me. The day started off smooth and full of celebration. As the ceremony was coming to a close, rain began to pour, causing a change of plans. It’s a good thing Ajay and Karishma have such a fun bridal party. Joy and laughter filled the hotel rooms as they prepared for the reception. With a bridal party as fun as this one, you can imagine how crazy the dance floor was. Congratulations again to Ajay and Karishma. Hope you dig!

Calvin + Elizabeth | Are We There Yet?

Calvin and Lizz began their relationship while studying down in Champaign-Urbana. They both moved back to the city to serve at the college fellowship of CCUC and that’s where I met them. From the little interaction we had, I felt as if we were close friends. These two have got to be the most kind and friendly people I’ve met. The thing I really love about this couple is their love for their families and God. I remember when we were talking about their day and the choice in the reception and ceremony locations. Calvin explained how he really preferred having the reception elsewhere. There was no way they could have fit that many people into any other venue. So they went against their wants and decided that if this is what it takes to share Christ with their families, so be it. With their intentions in the right place, they were nothing but smiles on the day of. No worries, no anxiety, nothing but a longing to spend the rest of their lives together, building each other up.

To get to know Calvin and Lizz a bit more, you can view their portrait film here.

Hope you dig!

Jonathan + Bianca | Drive

Upon meeting Jonathan and Bianca, I kind of had a feel for who they were. They shared about their love for culture, traveling, and food. All of which, lead up to being very experimental and adventurous. Jon and Bianca shared about loving to cook with each other. More so Jonathan than Bianca, but she helps! With that in mind, we decided to stop by a local farmer’s market to pick up some groceries which lead to a salad later on that evening. With the rain coming down hard, we scurried into the bakery across from the market and enjoyed some cupcakes and fresh-squeezed lemonade. It’s days like these where I feel like I need to find a “real” job. Jonathan and Bianca make it easy.

Here’s the portrait film we played at the reception. Stay tuned for their highlight! Their wedding was a blast! Congratulations Jonathan + Bianca!
