Divine synchronicity in a dreamy photo shoot


Sometimes life really alignes- this shoot was such a testament towards so much synchronicity happening! I was visiting friends in Chicago when an inquiry came into my inbox from a couple looking for a photographer for their destination wedding in Antigua, Guatemala. After an in person meeting and some emails back and forth, we were able to find some time to shoot in Chicago before their trip to Guatemala to finalize all the wedding details!


The art institute also holds a special place in my heart- I've been studying Dutch painters for a few years learning about the ways in which they compose, light, and create such feeling in their work. Tatiana mentioned taking photos at the gallery and there- was some paintings that I only knew from the books that I read to inform my work in photography and in weddings.


Here are some of my favorites from this incredible shoot.
