Catherine + Bobby :: Chicago Engagement Photographer

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:51:07 +0000

I was excited to explore Loyola’s campus with Catherine and Bobby for their engagement session. They both loved the architecture of the buildings and specifically the Chapel area – we were graced with amazing skies and light which added to my excitement! These two totally rocked it and I am really happy with the variety of images we ended with. After Loyola we headed back into the city for a few West Loop hot spots and Kinzie Street Bridge. Looking forward to another gorgeous day for their wedding this October!

I had a fabulous time hanging out with John, Jody and their team two weeks ago as they celebrated their love hockey style at America’s Round House. John has grown up playing hockey and when the Blackhawks won the cup this year I knew it was just going to be icing on the cake for their big day! I loved all the details they incorporated – just wait – detail post will be coming soon!! The Round House was the perfect location with a mix of industrial elements complimented by outdoor space and an old tavern feel – and they brew their own beer – I mean come on!

Caitlin and Brendan were troopers braving one of the hottest afternoons at the beach for their engagement session. We found some great spots with wonderful light and managed to get away from most of the crowds gearing up for the air and water show. One of the greatest things for me in photographing couples is not only capturing their connection to each-other but gaining their trust to make a connection with me as well. This connection/trust makes shooting such a breeze – this happened seamlessly with Caitlin and Brendan – it was like we’ve been friends for years and we were just out for a walk creating awesome images – ahhh so fun!!

Denise + Ron

Denise and Ron were a riot to hang out with – we started things out at Osaka Garden (in Jackson Park right behind the Museum of Science & Industry). We then ventured into the loop to catch the glimmering lights from the Art Institute’s Modern Wing Bridge. In just the short time shooting with these two I know their special day will be filled with many laughs and lots of love!

Margaret and Jake’s big day is soon approaching and I can’t wait for all the fun moments! Margaret and Jake have a great sense of humor, easy going personalities and share a great love for their families. Margaret and Jake will start their new lives together in Logan Square – so what better place to capture them as a couple! I loved the urban neighborhood feel – it was fun exploring the square/boulevards – not to mention the amazing roof top deck of Jake’s condo (their soon to be new home!). See you guys again real soon!!

Escuse me while I catch up on some much needed blogging!!! I shot with Jill and AJ a few weeks back to celebrate their recent engagement – we had such a blast walking around Navy Pier and Olive Park. These two lovebirds have been dating since they were 13 ….or was it 15….anywho A LONG TIME!! I loved that the shoot brought such a young playful vibe to remember the days when they first met. Best wishes for the two of you!!

Details from Katy and Jon’s classically beautiful wedding day. Shout out to the amazing staff of the Peninsula, Sonia Roselli, Prairie Basket Florist, and High Society. Some of Katy’s details included an heirloom ring, monogramed champagne flutes, flipflop service via Peninsula (love this idea) and a “Chicago” coffee table book for their guestbook.

Katy and Jon lucked out, with rain clouds hovering over us most of the day, there was no rain to be seen! Everyone got ready at the luxe Peninsula, I was happy to be back at the Quigley Center Chapel for another gorgeous ceremony (I’ll be there once more this year – which will make a total of three times this season – I’m gettin’ spoiled!!) We took a quick tour of the loop, dodged some filming for the upcoming Transformers movie (why must they film on Saturdays!!) then back to the Peninsula for cocktails on their amazing outdoor terrace, dinner and LOTS of dancing. There were so many heartfelt moments throughout the day – stay tuned for the details coming soon!!

Katy and Jon had an amazing wedding two weeks ago here in Chicago, but with the two of them living in Dallas it was hard for us to schedule an engagement session. Before I post their wedding teasers – here are a few from their rehearsal – I am just loving this sequence of Katy running out to the cab in the rain sneaking a kiss from Jon on the way!
