Susan & Blake wanted a fall color engagement session as the leaves started to turn. The timing was perfect and we found some really beautiful locations to make this one of my most colorful sessions ever. Seriously, how about that Red Maple Tree we found!..
Kelli & Ryan were married at Ravenswood Billboard Factory in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood. I started the morning with Kelli and the girls while they got ready at Renaissance Hotel downtown. My friend was in town to help me out again and Justin Edmonds was with Ryan while the guys got ready…
I spent some time with Lisa & Bill a few weeks ago for the first half of their engagement session. They looked great then, but they were really stunning in formal attire for their Civic Opera House engagement session. It was a perfect spot for a couple that each has a background in classical music performance. We started in the historical building’s Grand Foyer, which is a beautiful space. We also did manage to duck into the Theatre itself for a few pictures as well. Finally, we ventured outside for a few minutes and found an epic pocket of light reflecting from another building downtown – a great way to finish. Can’t wait to see you guys again this fall!
I spent an afternoon with Kelli & Ryan for my second winter engagement session this year in Chicago. We met at Dry Hop, their favorite neighborhood brewpub for beers and got some pictures inside. Thanks to the Dry Hop staff for being so accommodating while we table hopped for a few different looks!..
Lisa & Bill decided to go for a winter engagement session. We started our day at Lincoln Station (a little pub in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood) with beers and a game of pool. Yes, I really do recommend starting all engagement sessions with drinks!..
Christine & Ryan were married at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood with a reception at Roosevelt University’s Auditorium Ballroom. The reception venue has had two weddings this year and somehow I had them both…
I always recommend starting engagement sessions with drinks, and I usually tell couples to pick locations with meaning. So Kincade’s in Lincoln Park was a perfect two-for-one starting location, since that’s where they first met…
As some of you know, Jackie and I spent two years living in Fargo while she worked for North Dakota State University. Louise & Alan first contacted me last year, just before we moved back to Chicago. The crazy part is that Louise & Alan were living in Chicago. They started dating while in high school in Moorhead, Minn. (just across the river from Fargo) and decided to head home to get married at Rustic Oaks, in Moorhead…
