{Chelsea & Greg: A Quirky Wisconsin Engagement Session}
“And now for something completely different.” There’s certainly nothing wrong with the beauty of Lincoln Park, or wandering the West Loop for creative and colorful backdrops. I could give you a pretty hefty list of Chicago locations for engagement photos that I have loved over the years but… sometimes someone offers up something completely out […]
{Lisa + Derek: A Biggs Mansion and Cigars Kind of Session}
Beautiful couple? Check! Unique and sexy location? Double CHECK! Being a member has its perks, having access to the Cigar Club in the Biggs Mansion gave us an incredible experience. Old Chesterfield sofas, oversized mirrors, smoky rooms… what a treat. There was a terrific photo opp at every turn! Plus these two are complete naturals […]
{Amanda + Mason: An Epic Aspen Engagement Session}
This Aspen engagement session was off the charts! When Amanda realized I’d be in Steamboat Springs, CO photographing a wedding, she asked if I’d consider meeting them in Aspen for their engagement shoot. Ummm… twist my arm, YES! Stunning views, perfect weather, and an adorable couple- check, check, check. I have spent some time in […]
{May + Billy: Steampunk Love}
“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” -Dr. Suess May: “We met online and like most long distance relationships, we spent a lot of time communicating […]
{Elysa+Alex: Winter Love!}
What do a slice of pizza and Jafar have in common? Nothing, unless these things happen to be a part of your Halloween costume AND the person that notices your genius turns out to be the person you’re going to marry! “Alex and I met at a Halloween party that I hosted. Alex was invited […]
{Allie+John: Riding into the sunset}
In this line of work I try not to play favorites, I really do love ALL of my couples! And I thoroughly enjoy making each and every engagement session unique and fun. But this one….. well, c’mon!!! A gorgeous couple, an adorable frenchie named Mabel, in-home cocktails, a vintage yellow scooter, throwing back some “champs” […]
{Christin+Brian: On and Off-stage Romance}
This is the kind of love story that’s worthy of a stage. Two actors, dancing on a stage in England, and falling in love in a castle. Not too shabby… and actually the rest of the story is even better (and keeps getting better). Our engagement session was a small attempt to capture some of […]
{Lindsay+James: Cookies and Cocktails}
I frequently ask couples to share with me the things they love doing together, and try to work a couple of those things into their portrait session. Don’t get me wrong, I love the views from Lincoln Park as much as anyone else (there’s a good reason why the South Pond Pavilion is so popular). […]
{Aaron & Joana: She said yes!}
Not much compares to the excitement and surprise of a proposal. The preparation, the butterflies and crazy nerves, the ring… and of course the hidden photographer! I love photographing these amazing moments, whether I am posing as a tourist photographing the city skyline (as was the case for this proposal), sneaking behind bushes or even […]
{Anne & Tyler: Go Badgers!}
A hockey player and a football champ at the University of Wisconsin- Go Badgers! When they met… a) the Wisconsin football team had just beat Michigan University b) they danced ALL night long c) it was love at first sight d) ALL OF THE ABOVE! These two have so much history in Madison, so we […]
