{Natalie+Steve: New Year’s Eve City Hall Elopement}
Seeing the ear-to-ear smiles on these two, you would never know it was freezing outside. Their excitement was unfazed by the single digit temperatures, if not for their rosy noses and fogged breath it might have looked like a warm Spring day! I had the pleasure of meeting Natalie a couple of years ago at […]
{Sasha+Matt: Married at Gallery 1028}
The Golden Ratio, the circumference of a circle, complimentary angles… love took shape during the course of their Geometry class and these two became high school sweethearts. 10 years later, after countless memories and seeing each other through those formative years known as your early twenties, Sasha and Matt were ready to make it official […]
{Caitlin+Brian: A Chicago Engagement}
Whether it was the excitement from the flag football game, or the drinks afterwards, Caitlin couldn’t help but notice her cute co-worker Brian. After a few weeks of playing on the team together, some harmless conversation and drinks with friends, they realized there may be more to it (she gave him a hug goodbye without […]
{Caroline & Kyler: “Be Awesome”}
The best part about being in love is having someone you can truly be yourself with. They love every side of you, from serious to hilarious, your adorable and even not-so-adorable quirks. “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start […]
{Lori&Pete: Happy}
These two come to mind when I hear the “Happy” song, a sweet joyfulness that’s super contagious (no matter how many times you hear Pharrell Williams on the radio you can’t help but snap your fingers and tap your toes). Even though they still have that wonderful shyness around each other, the kind made of […]
{Brad & Matt: Same Love}
They say, “when you know, you know.” From day one these two “knew.” They had met their match (thanks to match.com!), and their lives were forever changed. Love is such an exciting adventure, it magnifies the highs and helps ease the lows. When you’re in love you see the world through rose-colored glasses, but it’s […]
{Kristy+Matt: Harlem Shake and GIF Love}
Just a little teaser… when you have a gigantic bridal party why not have some fun? Or in this case… a LOT of fun! Congrats Kristy and Matt! 1…2…3…4… And then things got a little crazy…
{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 […]
