Dan and Julia's Engagement Session

Dan and Julia had a perfect evening for their Engagement Session in Chicago a few weeks ago! We decided to start the shoot at the 4th Presbyterian Church, which is where Dan popped the big question.  From there we jumped over to the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company which is one of Julia's favorite local places (she's a girl after my own heart), and then we finished up with some skyline shots at North Avenue Beach.

Aren't they just the sweetest?

Alex and Kilene's Engagement Session

Aren't Alex and Kilene just the sweetest couple?  Their Engagement Session at the Morton Arboretum was absolutely perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day to shoot.  Alex and Kilene's adorable sense of style, and easy laid-back kind of love made them a joy to work with and we can't wait to be a part of their wedding next year! Please take a peek at a few of our favorite images from their session!

Brittany and Frank's Engagement Session

Brittany and Frank had a beautiful day for their Engagement Session in Chicago's Lincoln Park. These two are just adorable together, and their natural comfortableness in front of the camera made them a breeze to photograph!

We are so excited to be doing their wedding at Hotel Palomar in just a few short months!

Please take a look at a few of our favorite images from their session and leave them some love!

Krina and Kevin's Engagement Session

It was fantastic to be able to meet up with Kevin and Krina in Chicago just a few short days before their wedding and do some portraits.  This allowed us to get to know each other a little better and for them to get ready to be in front of the camera all day on the day of their wedding!We had a great afternoon for photographs, and found plenty of spaces to shoot even with the bright sun!

Please take a look at a few of our favorite images, and stay tuned for a follow-up blog featuring their amazing wedding at the Chicago Botanical Gardens!

Melissa and Brian's Engagement Session

You all know how much we love our pets, so we are always excited when people want to include their pooches in their sessions!  Could their little guy, Joey, be any sweeter?  That bow-tie just kills me! Melissa and Brian chose to do their Engagement Session at Lilacia Park, and the flowers couldn't have been more perfect!  We then cruised over to the local DQ, before ending up at their house for a few more shots.

I had so much fun with these two, and we can't wait for their wedding next year!
