“But Love, I’ve come to understand, is More then 3 words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by Action, a pattern of Devotion in other things we do for Each Other EVERY DAY!” -Nicholas Sparks “The Wedding”

A million thank you’s to Valerie of Val Marlene Photography and my intern Brooke of Nomadic Newlyweds, for coming to the Chicago area and shooting this wedding with me. You allowed me to be both a photographer and a bridesmaid with no stress. I am forever grateful for you both.
