Cecilia and Trey, as seen in the The New York Times 🥲
Can’t tell you how many confused looks people outside of the industry give me when I tell them about my couples hiring Etsy witches to cast good weather spells, but here we are talking about it in the New York Times. Article aptly went live on Halloween 🧙🏼👻
Do I believe in Etsy witches? Jury is still out. But I will say, after an unprecedented weather filled summer in Chicago; and rain on the forecast the entire week of C&T’s wedding, there wasn’t a single drop of rain in the sky on that late August day.
I would be remiss if I didn’t shout out my amazing assistant Vanessa McCormick for grabbing this cover shot while I was shooting ceremony details! Vanessa and I have been shooting together four years now and I literally couldn’t imagine my wedding days without her. She deserves all the flowers. Love you big time, work wife 🫶🏼🤍
