Prague, Czech Republic

I went to Prague at the end of October with my great friend Abigail {studying abroad with me here in Orvieto). We then met up with a college friend, Steph. She was an amazing hostess! Praha (as they say) is probably one of the most underrated European cities. It is flowing with eccentric people, gothic castles, beer, and amazing street musicians. It was an incredible weekend with the best company. 10/10 recommend this place. We saw the Prague Castle, a drip stone wall, happened upon a garden, and found autumn leaves! You can see Stephanie's blog to see more photos from the trip... here

Cinque Terre, Italy

I went to the northern coast of Italy with some of the best girls that I know. We navigated through train stations, with a couple of bus mishaps and lots of coffee and laughs. Telephone pictionary and 4 hour dinners made up a lot of our memories. Here are some photos to summarize. P.s Studying abroad is amazing! We are starting month 2 with narrative painting and a study on Dante's Inferno and Purgatorio. 

Rome

While studying in Orvieto, Italy we traveled to Rome for the weekend as a class. We saw amazing art, incredible churches, learned so much, ate phenomenal gelato, and walked until we literally could not anymore. 10/10 would recommend this city!

Chris + Caily | Indianapolis, IN

Caily and Chris became great friends through my second shooter, and I was so happy that I had the chance to shoot their wedding. They got married on the steps of the Benton House in Indianapolis. It is an French style estate that was built in the 1800's.  It was a beautiful french + brunch theme in the morning and an ice cream truck to end the celebration. These two are so simple and so wonderful and May 30th was the best day! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Lee! 

Venue: Benton House

Dress: Nordstrom 

Desert: Mrs. Curl Ice Cream Truck

Patrick + Arielle | Sycamore, IL

It was an absolute honor to be a part of Patrick and Arielle's story. They love each other so well, and one of the things that they do best is community. Second shooting with Kenzie Kate was a dream come true. So thankful that I walked away from this weekend with amazing new friends. Here's to the start of wedding season! 

Shane + Lauren

Shane and Lauren are those people that by just being around them, you have all of the freedom to be yourself. They are fun, and quirky, and hilariously in love and it is an honor to know them. They are amazing friends, and I am so excited for these guys as they begin the new chapter of their lives. I can't wait until July when they become Mr. and Mrs. Shane Wallin! 

The most epic high five.
