Pran & Josh- engaged!

When Josh approached Pran at a friend’s party, he must have made a good impression. Instead of awkward small talk, they got along swimmingly, and Pran didn’t hesitate to share her digits. They met for dinner the very next weekend and things took off. Their adventure together has taken them on trips all over Europe […]

Danielle and Patrick are engaged!

When Danielle first met Patrick, she saw beyond the stone-washed faded jeans and white tennis shoes, and instead focused on the cute smile and the fact that he kept making her laugh. Now he still makes her laugh (but his wardrobe has undergone a few adjustments). When you meet that special someone that makes you […]

Chelly and Kyle are engaged

When Kyle spotted a sprightly red head walking across campus, he knew he had to find a way to meet her. He was persistent, and it paid off. Be ready for your cheeks to hurt from laughing when spending time with them, they keep the punches coming. Not only do they laugh and joke a […]

Lindsay & Philip- engaged!

Meeting one’s soulmate in a jewelry store seems highly unlikely, if not impossible, simply because most people only enter a jewelry store when looking for a gift for their special someone. Out of sheer coincidence, Philip let his associate go home early and went to the store himself to pick up jewelry they were using […]

Jaclyn and Brad are engaged!

I met these two at a wedding earlier this year, and was so excited to be on their “must-have” wedding list! They are super cute, and although they have relocated to the East Coast, they made a point to come back to Chicago for their engagement session before the holidays. We walked around their old […]

Leah and Shawn- engaged in the windy city!

My meetings with Leah and Shawn seem to revolve around cold temperatures and crazy winds. The first time we met was during a snowstorm, and after rescheduling our engagement session due to rain, we were still faced with wild Chicago winds and drizzling rain for our backup date. Their excitement overshadowed the gusty weather, and […]

Kristen and Derek are engaged!

Back in July at the Indie Wed event, both Jeremy of 3 line 9 productions and myself offered a contest. Whoever could “pin-the-stache” to the groom while blindfolded would win a free photo+video engagement session, and Kristen was our lucky winner! Jeremy and I caught up with her and Derek on a beautiful Fall day, […]

Lila and Jeremy are engaged!

These two are as sweet as home-made chocolate chip cookies! Not only are they best-pals with one of my couples from last year (and they were in the wedding party), but they also live close by- I actually ran into Jeremy one night at the local market! They are both charming, unassuming, intelligent and fun. […]

Susie and Shaun- engaged!

Waiting for the perfect weather to schedule a photo session has been very challenging this year, with so much rain and incorrect forecasts my calendar has been turned upside down. I was set to meet with Susie and Shaun, the skies were clear and sunny, but poor Shaun was suffering through food poisoning! We decided […]

Michael and Paul are getting married!

Quite often love can catch us by surprise, you never know when cupid will shoot an arrow straight at you. Mike and Paul both ended up at the Metro one night to meet a mutual group of friends for a show, and it didn’t take long for them to see sparks flying. Everything just fell […]
