Fun Chicago Engagement Photos

Laura & Kevin are one of my favorite couples this year. They are so much fun to hang out with, and I just know their intimate wedding next month is going to be amazing! For their engagement photos they wanted to start at home with Jane and then walk over to the park. Is little Jane not the cutest thing ever? And can we talk about how amazing their place is?!?!? Really I’m obsessed with the park photos though…I had such a hard time narrowing down blog picks! If you want to see the whole set, head on over here :-)Love love love.

Chicago Proposal Photos

On a cold Wednesday in February I received one of my favorite kinds of emails. A man in love, planning to propose to his girlfriend. Sahaj created an imaginary corporate event at the Shedd and forwarded the invitation to get Natasha all dressed up and in front of the most beautiful view of the city. She had no idea what was actually about to happen!She began piecing things together during our little shoot after he proposed and I couldn’t help but include the image of her scolding him! Her whole family was in on it. And they all surprised her at Japonais later that evening!! What a wonderful way to ask the love of your life to marry you.

All of my congratulations Natasha & Sahaj! I am thrilled for you two.

These two are so much fun! I cannot wait for their wedding next month.

We got together last weekend and went to Navy Pier & J Parker to take engagement photos. Funny story about Navy Pier….both Jen & Nick AND Wil & I got engaged on the ferris wheel! What a fun thing to have in common right?! Jen, I love your laugh and the way you look at Nick. You two are awesome and it’s an honor to celebrate your love in this way!

Friday I had so much fun meeting up with the beautiful Amanda & Mike to take some engagement pictures. They got engaged almost exactly a year ago on a skip trip! How fun is that?  She is so stylish I just cannot wait to see their wedding this May!! We met at Fulton’s on the River for a drink and ended the evening at JParker in Lincoln Park. I love the view so much from both of those places :-)

Chicago Lifestyle Photographer: AJ & Sam

Sometimes people come into your life that make you stop in your tracks for a minute. They are just so magnetic you have to love them! AJ is one of those people for me. By now you’ve met her on the blog, and seen her amazing work. And if you know her in person, you probably love her as much as I do! This girl is doing big things and chasing her dreams. There’s someone really special in her life that I need to introduce you to though, and that is AJ’s boyfriend Sam. Sam plays professional baseball and is only here in Chicago four months out of the year. I seriously don’t know how they do it. Before Sam leaves next week I was so honored to do a quick session for the two of them to treasure in their time apart. One of Sam’s other talents is playing the guitar! They spend many evenings curled up at home while he serenades her, so I thought that would be a perfect theme for our session.

seriously love you guys! XXOO

I can’t wait for your wedding this May!! XXOO

Chicago Proposal Photographer: Buckingham Fountain Wedding Proposal

I feel so honored to have been able to photograph Kent & Lindsay’s proposal! The night before I left for Paris, I went downtown and tried to blend in with the tourists and runners in Grant Park. Kent wanted to propose by Buckingham Fountain because that’s where he had first said “I love you.” Isn’t that just the sweetest? After she said YES! they went ice skating, and I was so happy to catch a few fun pictures of that too :-)

So much love you two!! XXOO
