{Katie+Chaz: Cheers to Love!}

Katie was the maid-of-honor at Diana and Kyle’s wedding a couple of years ago, and played a critical role (actually she’s 100% responsible, thanks Katie!) in introducing Diana to my photography. I may have said to Katie more than a few times at Diana’s wedding “when you get engaged, you’d better call me.” And guess […]

{Martina+Lester: Botanic Garden Engagement}

Sometimes it makes sense to reschedule… a rainy overcast day one week earlier just wouldn’t have been the same. We waited until the following weekend and were rewarded with moderate temperatures, beautiful golden sunlight as the day started to dim, and the last traces of color on the ground and in the trees before Winter […]

{Yiming and Justin: A Snowy Engagement}

As I headed out to meet with Yiming and Justin it started to snow… it snowed and snowed, then snowed some more. But that didn’t deter us! They were getting ready for their wedding in China at the end of this month so they really wanted some Chicago photos. Although chilly temperatures and melted snow […]

{Caroline & Sean}

They had me at “Oasis.” Not only are these two adorable and funny, but as Sean spoke about his favorite band and the three of us ordered a round of drinks I knew I was in for a treat. They tease and finish each other’s sentences, they laugh often and like to cuddle. Caroline talked […]

{Maria+Nick: Wrigleyville romance}

One fateful night at the historic Pippin’s Tavern, Maria was introduced to Nick. This intro happened right after a drink was spilled all over her dress, and as she stumbled over her words trying to explain the unfortunate wet spot he knew he was already intrigued. In fact it didn’t take long at all for […]

{Tiffany & David}

“The eyes are the window to the soul…” As a resident of ophthalmology David couldn’t help but notice Tiffany’s eyes, just one of her many beautiful features. He struck up a conversation and their romance was born, a love story that followed them through residency, countless hours of studying, and on to Texas together. Luckily […]

{Rachel+David}

Some say love is like a boomerang, it keeps coming back to where it started. Rachel and David knew each other all the way through High School and College but never let things stray from being just friends. A year after college they both found themselves in Colorado and decided to start dating. Unfortunately David’s […]

{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 […]
