Tim and Brittnie are dear friends of mine, and it was an honor to document their day this past October at Prairie Street Brewing in Rockford. Helping Brittnie throughout the wedding planning process made documenting their day even more special, and we got so lucky with perfect fall weather. Looking back on this day reminds me of how lucky I am to preserve these memories for my family and friends. Scroll for a peek at their day.

BEHIND THE LENS
You can usually find me home with my golden retriever or day dreaming of my next trip to Italy.
I am a firm believer in living life with purpose and never missing the opportunity to experience something new. The Meyers-Briggs test says I am an INFJ with ESFJ qualities (an introverted extrovert, IYKYK), and my friends say I am the person they come to when they need comfort, advice, or fresh baked goods. I consider myself an empath, so special moments you share with your loved ones will likely get me all teary eyed and sentimental. I am not here to pretend life is picture perfect, but to capture genuine emotion and create timeless pieces of art to decorate your home. I’m constantly striving for perfection, but have a calming personality and am relatively easy going.
When the camera is not around my neck, I am a big home body. I love hanging on the couch with my dog, making pasta, breads and desserts from scratch, squatting 400+ pounds in the gym, or plotting my next trip outside of the US. As a direct descendant of Italian immigrants, I feel most at home in Italy (and speak a bit of Italian, too.)
