We were so grateful she was willing to drive from Milwaukee to the Chicago suburbs! On the day of she was so sweet and jumped right in to providing sketches during our cocktail hour. Later she went around to encourage more people to have a sketch done. She also captured a quick shot of us and then another during our first dance.
