I met up with Jessica and Adam for their engagement session on the Naperville Riverwalk! I love the Riverwalk, it feels like home since I lived next to it for 4 years and then close by for another year. The Naperville area is definitely part of my life and luckily I know all the back places that are awesome there! While we were walking around we saw no less than 5 photographers there so it’s a very popular place!

Jessica and Adam are a lot of fun and truly love each other, you can see it in their engagement photos!

They then changed into Bears jerseys!

Can’t wait to photograph your wedding!

So again I find myself at Cantigny for another fun engagement session! I met up with Stephanie and Dave for their engagement session and boy did we laugh! They’re so much fun and totally ignored the camera (which is a good thing! Ignore ignore ignore me!)

I love their expressions here!

Can’t wait to see you again at TWO other weddings before yours next year!!

I met up with Jamie and her fun hubby to trash her dress! Once we got it wet we realized that it was HEAVY once wet and didn’t go fully in water for fear she’d not be able to carry it at all! We went around Millennium Park for this one and I did get to see a lot of it that I normally don’t!

I really love this one, you can just see the happiness between both of them!

Millennium Park is located at 201 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL? – (530) 464-0225

Matt and Erika first emailed asking if they could bring their little puppy, Addi to their engagement shoot. I said ABSOLUTELY. They picked a great location in Oswego called Emerson Creek Pottery! They apparently know the owners so it was easy to get some access in! At first they didn’t know how Addi would react to getting her picture taken, but she warmed up to it with a little bit of treats!

Isn’t Addi cute? And Matt and Erika are too! They were pretty much naturals during their engagement session! Addi was so different from Isabelle, who as you know is nuts, she was calm, didn’t dart off and actually listened to me! A change for sure!

If you want to stop by Emerson Creek it’s located at:
5000 Grove Rd

Can’t wait to see you for your wedding in under a year now!

I hope you were singing the tune to White Wedding in that title, but probably not. On their wedding day, there were a few drops and then a few more, luckily though we successfully avoided the rain and it wasn’t too chilly either! Lauren and Brian are probably waiting for this post to go up! The were featured over on weddingistas for their first look, I wrote a blog post about first looks too. And we can also take a trip down memory lane to their engagement session in Lincoln Park!

Lauren and Brian chose Winnetka Community House as their setting for the wedding and reception. It’s the perfect place to get married! Not only does it make the perfect backdrop for wedding pictures, it also makes everything so convenient!
