{Vanessa+Micah: Library Love}
Vanessa and Micah are true sweethearts, they met at DePaul a few years back and have been side by side ever since. Their college years meant LOTs of studying, balanced out with aggressive games of Connect Four and walks around campus. Even now, being a few hours away from each other as Micah finishes law […]
103 stories in the air….
This surprise proposal took place at the amazing skydeck in the Willis Tower, shortly after closing. Not only did Bill arrange this all the way from California, but Jessie had no idea that their Chicago “tour” would lead to Bill standing in a window 103 stories up with a ring in his pocket! Obviously I […]
Kate and Jimmy
These two have found the winning ticket! Not only were they troopers to venture out on a very cold day for our engagement session, but they politely ignored the pockets-full of tissues and various ugly flu-symptoms that I was suffering that day. I was running a fever and was barely able to talk to them […]
Sharon & Tom- A Worldly Engagement
Out of the 7 billion people in this world, somehow this Mid-western girl met this Irish boy. They fell in love and moved to Dubai. To be fair moving to Dubai was job-related, but what better proof of love than moving to the other side of the world to be together?! Luckily I was able […]
Annie and Fidel- he put a ring on it!
I have known fellow photographer Michael for a few years (his newest project is taking Chicago by storm, Potluck Creative), and when his sister got engaged she gave me a call. I was so excited! Not only are Annie and Fidel adorable (and oh-so-easy on the eyes, not to mention naturals in front of the […]
Sandy & Corey- engaged!
Whether it was the after-hours beer or the life size Jenga, their post-work gatherings offered more than just good times with friends. Sandy and Corey both found their life long drinking buddies! I am so glad that I met these two (through mutual friends/clients- the awesome Leah and Shawn), you could say after three hours […]
Ilene and Ben- engaged!
Ben is a talented musician and plays with several bands around Chicago. One particular gig was for a group of dancers…ooh lala! As he was playing his trombone (and no that is not a euphemism for something else!), he spotted a pretty lady taking the stage. As she performed he couldn’t take his eyes off […]
Elizabeth & Karl, on-stage romance
I love a good story, and these two have quite a doozy. Imagine two actors being cast as man and wife in a play, and then playing the same husband/wife roles in another play, and another… talk about foreshadowing! Maybe the directors saw something they didn’t, and finally Karl made a move and they gave […]
Kristy & Matt- Volleyball and Anniversary Cake
Kristy and Matt met in college while playing together on a volleyball team. After being friends for quite some time, Matt asked her out on a real “date.” They stopped by the delicious Annette’s Italian Ice in Lincoln Park to start things off, Matt must have seen the foreshadowing when Kristy ordered the “anniversary cake.” […]
Darlene + Bobby
Life is full of surprises, like when this Filipino girl met this Bulgarian guy… love! Their paths crossed in Chicago, and now they call this city home, along with their two adorable pugs. You never know what or who life will bring your way, but when you meet someone that makes your heart do somersaults […]
