Meet Jen & Joe! I can’t wait for their wedding later this year!
I met up with them downtown on a chilly fall day in October for their engagement photos. They wanted an urban vibe so we picked some favorite spots and set out on the town! We started out near the Chicago Theater in one of my favorite alleys (because it’s totally normal to have a favorite alley right?). That area is always full of people and truly encompasses the hustle and bustle of the city.
From there it was off to Board of Trades and the iconic photo looking down LaSalle. After a wardrobe change we headed to LaSalle Bridge for some photos as the sun went down and the city lights started to come up. The city at night has such a different look and vibe. So if the timing works out I always try to get a couple night shots at the end of the session!
Here are some of my favorites!
Meet Kaia & Dave! Dave and I go way back to our IU days. So when my sister and I planned a trip to Colorado I of course wanted to do a session while I was there. Luckily Dave and his new bride Kaia volunteered to model for me! The plan was to get them some gorgeous shots in the mountains since they had gotten married a few weeks earlier in Indiana. Mother Nature had other ideas.
The day before it started snowing, and snowing and continued to snow throughout the day of our session. Which meant some of the roads weren’t open and visibility higher up was zero, crushing our hopes for some of the views we wanted. But we went to Plan B! They met us in Vail where my sister and I were staying and we explored the village as the snow fell. All the fall colors where still out in full effect so we couldn’t have planned it if tried!
Thank you to the newlyweds for trekking through the cold and snow for me! And to Four Season Vail for letting us take a few photos on the balcony since we were staying there!
Meet Sarah & Zach! I can’t wait for their upcoming wedding in October! I originally met these two when they were members of a wedding party for a previous wedding of mine. So of course I was thrilled when they contacted me after their engagement.
We had an absolutely beautiful fall day for their engagement session. We strolled around Lincoln Park and enjoyed the fall colors before heading out to Museum Campus to catch sunset over the skyline. Minus about getting taken out by some waves along the water, it was a perfect evening!
Here are some of my favorites from their session!
