John & Kristin are another 2010 couple that were hoping to get some nice fall colors in their Engagement Session photos.  Yet again I lucked out on the weather because the rainy forecast ended up being not so rainy!  I need to get a job as a Meteorologist because apparently they can be wrong 100% of the time and not get fired!

We started out by Lincoln Park Zoo, made a quick stop at the Lily Pond, then zipped over near North Ave Beach to grab some skyline shots.  It was a fun shoot and I’m super excited to be working with John & Kristin next year!

Mike & Kathryn were one of my last Engagement Sessions this season.  The weather was just starting to really get cold in Chicago (although the past 2 weeks weren’t so bad!) and the leaves were falling.  We grabbed some shots through the Lincoln Park area, Museum Campus and then headed over by Millennium Park to get some shots with the AON building in the background.  Mike & Kathryn are having their reception at the Mid-America Club at the AON Center and they wanted to get some pictures with it in the background to use for “Save the Date” cards.  I don’t know if my “Leaning Tower of Pisa” like shots will make it to their cards but at the time I thought they were hilarious

Mike & Roula are getting married next year and we dodged some rainy weather in Chicago to go out and grab some shots.  They are planning to use some of the shots for their “Save the Date” cards so we were sure to grab some nice portraits at the Palmer House (their reception location).  After that we cabbed around a bit and shot around Oliver Park (a seemingly popular location lately) as well as Old Union Station because it was windy and chilly.  I had a fun time and am really looking forward to working with Mike & Roula again at the wedding next year!

I just realized that I never posted Mike & Meghan’s Engagement Session photos on the blog!  I’ll blame it on the craziness that is the “Summer Wedding Season”!  In any event, we shot these photos back at the end of July.  Mike & Meghan are getting married in 2010 and I actually just shot her sister Molly’s wedding last month.

These are a few of my favorite shots from the session.  I can’t wait until the wedding

A few weeks ago I shot Andy & Erin’s Engagement Session along the Naperville Riverwalk. They are getting married next year and I’m super excited to be working with them on their wedding. Here are a few shots from the session. We ended up back at the location where Andy proposed to Erin. I’m not sure if he got down on his knee the first time around – but I’m sure she said yes!

Luke and Carrie were a referral from Tim & Kate (back from 2006).  They are a super cool couple and we were able to find a nice afternoon about a week or so ago in between the rain and cold that Chicago is known for   We trekked around the Chicago Botanic Gardens for a few hours and got a bunch of really great shots!  I can’t wait for the wedding next year! Check out the slideshow for a ton more photos…

I shot Andrew & Cindy’s Engagement Session a few weeks back and we had an awesome time! We started over at the University of Chicago campus and got some really gorgeous shots. We also had some time to run over to Promontory Point to grab some shots next to the lake. Check out some of my favorites and a slideshow below. I can’t wait until the wedding next year!

Ali and Banafsheh were in town last week and we were able to fit in an Engagement Session prior to them leaving. Even though the tail end of last week was very rainy in Chicago, luckily the weather broke late Friday and we were able to go out and grab some shots. We started over on Magnificent Mile and jumped over to Oliver Park and Navy Pier before heading back to Michigan Avenue and grabbing a bunch of shots while heading over to the Chicago Theater. It was a fun shoot and I wish Ali and Banafsheh all the best in their wedding plans.

…….I would love to head up to Vancouver for the wedding

So I’m a little behind on blogging! Wedding season is finally starting to slow down for me. I have a few more awesome events coming up in 2008
but for the most part I’m certainly ready to take a little break! Mike and Jennie actually got married in October… Their wedding blog post will be coming up soon, but
we did a quick Engagement Session only a few short weeks before their big day. We headed downtown to shoot around Millennium Park. We jumped in a cab and ran over near the Museum Campus and Soldier Field for some more fun shots.

Check out a few of my favorites and a whole bunch more in the slideshow.

Yet another family referral… Tommy is Basia’s (2007) brother. He and his fiance Kristin contacted me a few months back about photographing their wedding next year. We shot a very fun Engagement Session down around the Museum Campus and Northerly Island. We had a ton of fun. I really can’t wait until the wedding!

Check out my many favorites below.
