Keeley + Logan

From the day I fell in love with photography, I would see the world through black and white film. Almost every image I create has the capability of transcendence when all that remains are the lights and shadows in monochromatic beauty. I've been hesitant to share a full wedding post in all black and white wondering who may not understand why. But I knew of all my weddings, Keeley would truly appreciate this; her being a fellow photographer and former college classmate.

So here I present to you, her wedding in Black and White! All of the beauty is held in the shapes and textures, light and dark; not how green the grass or blue the sky is, but in each pure moment.

Holly + David

There's something very special about photographing every little detail leading up to the big reveal! The butterflies get more and more active as the moment approaches and I get to beautifully document all of those pieces until they all come together like a dream.

I felt especially compelled to present this blog in that exact same way. Holly spent so much of her time and heart creating this picturesque, Stone Harbor wedding. The colors, the dress, the shoes, the rings, the headpiece! All of it came together in such a warm and graceful way. Her details are definitely at the top of my list of favorites!

Kristen + Matt

From their engagement session I knew these two would be a blast to photograph on their wedding. Boy did I underestimate that!

Brandy + Kevin

Despite the freezing cold air and snow on the ground, Brandy and Kevin tied the knot in the cozy, rustic, 2nd floor room at the Northbrook Market Place. The low hanging ceilings and solid wood rafters draped in string lights and handmade nuances, made for a beautiful and quaint ceremony. Brandy's light purple wedding dress perfectly accompanied the laid-back, no-nonsense feeling of their special day. Add in a comfort food filled buffet, famous apple cider doughnuts and a ton of friends and family tearing up the dance floor; and I say you have one successful stress free wedding! Congratulations to you both!

Small Business Saturday!

Sometimes what "small business" means to people are higher prices than the retail Giants out there. But what it really means is that you can work one-on-one with someone who will remember your name and care about what you want and what you were looking for. They will remember your name and your kids' names, they will remember what you love every time you walk in the door. Today's the day we help those small businesses out by shopping with them for our holiday gifts! Support the businesses that are family oriented and not the businesses that opened up on 4 PM on Thanksgiving to pull people away from their families all for the sake of making even more money. Shop with the people who are honest about their prices and not the ones who hike them up just to tell you it's 30% off for one day only.

In honor of small business Saturday email hello@littlebluebox.photo for 30% off of gift certificates... now until December 31st. Give it as a gift for a family photo, a beautiful senior portrait, or even towards a wedding! Gift certificates never expire and are good for sessions or Beautiful prints, canvases or framing.

The gift of memories encapsulated in a photograph is a gift that lasts a lifetime!

Ashley + Todd

Ashley and Todd tied the knot on a beautiful but chilly November day. I was so happy to be asked to photograph her wedding since 2 years prior I had the opportunity to photograph her Matron of Honor's wedding! It meant so much to be asked back for another amazing family event.

Despite the warmest of thoughts, we retired our outdoor photos to the stunning interior of The Park Savoy Estate in NJ. It's vintage throwback to the romantic 20's is the perfect backdrop for a bride and groom's portraits. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
