Chicago Nature Boardwalk Engagement Session

Alison and Blake decided on Lincoln Park for their engagement session. We really wanted to highlight Chicago in their session since after their wedding they will be moving! We started around South Pond which they had never explored before. We then head to the honeycomb to check that out and since it was a weeknight we almost had the place to ourselves. Then it was time to walk over to North Ave. I have always loved the pedway bridge and we took a few images up there too. We finished the night off right off the lakeshore path.

Lily Pond Engagement Shoot of Madeline + Craig

I met with Madeline and Craig this past Wednesday for their engagement shoot in my favorite spot in the city, South Pond. We could not have asked for a better night and we practically had the park to ourselves. All of the trees were in full bloom with flowers and the skyline from the kissing bridge was perfection. Madeline and Craig are high school sweethearts and have been dating for over 8 years. They will be getting married in Louisville. How sweet is that? They will be getting married on January 21, 2017 at St. Boniface, with their reception at The Brown Hotel in Louisville, their hometown! Enjoy the images from their session below.

Lily Pond and South Pond Engagement Shoot of Brett and Todd

I am so excited to share with you the engagement shoot of Todd and Brett. I am photographing their wedding in just a few short months in Lake Geneva. They live in the city and we decided on South Pond and the Lily Pond for their engagement shoot. They have to be one of the awesomest couples ever, not to mention me and Brett both went to Harrington College of Design and he also hates cilantro. He understands the struggle of HATING cilantro. So take a peak at the images from their shoot

South Pond Chicago Maternity Photoshoot of Michaela + Miguel

I met Michaela though our mutual friend Courtney way back in 2011 since I was photographing Courtney's wedding. I was so excited when she reached out to me a few months back when she first found out she was pregnant about doing a photoshoot with her and her boyfriend Miguel. We decided on South Pond which is one of my favorite spots in the city. We had the perfect day for our photoshoot with blue skies and puffy white clouds. Michaela was a natural in front of the camera and Miguel was great too. They are going to be such wonderful parents. Enjoy!

South Pond Engagement Photos

I was so excited to meet with Zuri and Alex for the engagement shoot at South Pond this past week. We looked at the weather report and decided on an unusually warm looking monday. What we didn't predict is that the temperature would drop to bellow freezing and it would be snowing by the end of their session. Alex, Zuri, and their two dogs were troopers though and we had an amazing shoot with the Chicago Skyline and the Honeycomb as amazing backdrops to their city engagement shoot. I can't wait to photograph their wedding on September 3rd, 2016!
