Devin and Alex shared the most beautifully raw first look I’ve ever been a witness to…starting off back to back, they exchanged hand-written cards before turning around to embrace each other in a moment that was filled with both laughter and tears. They said their vows in an intimate ceremony with their nearest and dearest before heading off to celebrate their wedding with their closest friends and lots of champagne. With a stunning forest preserve and Lake Michigan as the most breathtaking backdrop, their portraits were like poetry…elegant and heartfelt, with all the magic love holds.
