Pictures of married people in love

Chicago Beloved | Tiffany & Matt

Eek! Today is the day! I am SO excited to share Tiffany & Matt’s first anniversary Beloved pictures with you :-D Tiffany set this up as a surprise anniversary gift for Matt ON their first anniversary last Sunday! Isn’t that so cool? Matt is an architect and they both have always loved the Lincoln Park Pavilian, so we met there, and then meandered over to the North Avenue beach. I don’t want to keep you from the pictures, but I just want to say thank you to Tiffany & Matt for including me in their awesome celebration :-)

Before they got engaged Tiffany used to tell Matt that she didn’t need a ring to promise love forever, she just wanted a string. He gave her this as a reminder. So beautiful.

 Happy One Year you two! XXOO

Beautiful Weekend Updates & Sneak Peeks (with Real Pictures!!)

When I first got the Mark ii I was SO GOOD at taking my camera everywhere. I would be lying if I said this was still the case. Instagram (on my iPhone) has sadly taken over most of my day-to-day picture taken. This weekend I made an effort to carry my camera and I couldn’t be happier about it!

Friday night we opened a bottle of our wedding wine and played board games. Saying that I love married life and my husband is a huge understatement.


Saturday morning we woke up early and waiting in line for donuts at the Doughnut Vault!!! So delicious. Full blog post on that to come Thursday :-D

We came home to a million loads of laundry (sorry no pictures, this part is boring) and I edited Ashley & Jeremy’s Las Vegas elopement that I second shot for Justin & Mary. I cannot wait to show you all this full post on Wednesday!!!

Saturday night we went to this new restaurant up the street called Storefront Company. It was yummy! They had AMAZING glassware. I have enough pictures for a full post so please let me know if you would be interested in hearing more :-) (thanks to Wil for the picture of me!) I love getting dressed up for dinner out!

After dinner Josh & KT came over for drinks and sadly I forgot to take any pictures of this.

Sunday was our friends’ Matt & Tiffany’s first anniversary! Tiffany had set up a surprise Beloved session with him for that afternoon :-) Full post next week!!

 Okay aren’t they gorgeous!? LOVE.

Last night it was SO AMAZING outside that we just had to grill!! Full post with my secret recipe next week!!

Yeah…I am the queen of out of focus self portraits :-/ better than nothing though!

What did you do this weekend? I want to hear all about it!! XXOO

Portraits for Married People…what?!?!?! Yes, Beloved.

be·lov·ed

[bih-luhv-id, -luhvd]  adjective 1. greatly loved; dear to the heart. | noun 2. a person who is greatly loved.

Today I am so excited to tell you about about a new kind of session I am just now starting to offer. I’ve had this idea in my mind for a long time of sessions for married people in love. Something like an engagement session…but more… Yesterday was Wil’s and my 1 year anniversary and I can’t begin to explain to you in words how much more I love him now than I did even just one year ago. I cannot imagine what that is going to be like in 10, 25, 40 years. I believe love grows over time. I want to document your love growing.
Because here’s what I see happening. You fall in love, get engaged, take engagement pictures, take wedding pictures, ……………(fill in appropriate number of time for you and your partner and then choose whether or not to proceed with babies)…………………..probably have babies, take family pictures, take family pictures, take school pictures for kids, etc etc etc. And that’s great. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure your kids are awesome. I want this to be just for you and your spouse. I want the two of you to take even just an hour to escape your every day, to reconnect with each other, to laugh, to hug, to love. And I want to be there to capture it! I am so excited about this time for you two.

This is just a hint at the direction that I want to go with these :-)

I want to do this with you all to be able to see and capture your JOY!

And because I am SO excited about this today I am gong to give away one hour long Beloved session to a lucky married couple! I cannot wait to hear and capture your love stories.

To enter:

1. Comment below with the one characteristic you love most about your spouse (facebook comments will not count, please fill out the form below to comment)

2. Share this post on facebook saying “I’d love to win a Beloved session with @Emilia Jane Photography  http://emilia-jane.com/?p=945 ” (please be sure to retype the @Emilia Jane Photography so it tags my page)

And that’s it! Please let me know if you have any questions with these two things :-) Any married couple can be eligible. If you aren’t married but want to nominate your parents, that is totally fine with me! I will randomly select a winner and announce them next Tuesday!

College Station Beloved

Meet Harry and Chris! You may have already seen their sneak peek over on facebook. These two are absolutely the sweetest couple. Harry actually grew up in my hometown and he and Chris met at IU (where I did my undergrad) but I actually met them in College Station, Texas, Wil’s home town. Such a small world we live in! Like I said, they are absolutely the sweetest, most down-to-earth couple. I had so much fun on my mini session with them last week. Their joy truly overflows! I hope you can see just a little bit of that in these pictures at their home :-)

Thank you to you both for being amazing!

College Station Beloved

While we were in Texas over Thanksgiving I insisted on taking a few pictures of Wil’s parents. They have images of us plastered all over but I didn’t have any good pictures of them! Problem solved.

I love you two :-)

PS isn’t her ring beautiful??
