Soledad and Kurt are getting married at the end of the month, which means that their wedding fast approaching! I’m very excited to capture their wedding day but we also squeezed in their engagement shoot. We shot at Cantigny, which you know I just love, and the grounds were pretty spectacular that weekend (the grounds change quite often). We did get eaten by mosquitoes but it was totally worth it. I love me some sunsety light which I love about Soledad’s and Kurt’s images!
Anna and Ethan are more like friends than clients. We talked about our crazy dogs and training issues, food issues and pretty much anything else. We laughed about everything and I’m not sure that surly IT guy ever came up when I was around on their wedding day! I did have to convince them into their first dance and I hope they eventually thank me for it. Anna and Ethan are not people who love the spotlight but I think they handled it quite well despite any issues like having to sew in a bustle in the middle of the reception!
Their day went off without a hitch and it was great to work with Emmett from Logi Productions and we had a good time. It’s often known that videographers and photographers don’t get along but I’ve been lucky and we had a lot of fun, I think I’ll be in their video dancing on the side of the room (don’t pay attention to me…). I’m sure that Anna and Ethan won’t even read this part until they’ve watched the slideshow a few times.
And now I bring you a lovely assortment of the majority of my 2010 couples! I only have a few left to get in before their weddings and I’ve been in contact with them about it! (if you haven’t contacted me and talked about it, no sweat, just shoot me an email if you have a time/place you’re thinking of! I’m hoping there’s green and warmth in March!)
I am so excited for my 2010 season, I kicked it off with Nora and Tim‘s wedding and if that was a sign of how this was going to be, then I’m giddy!
There were sessions downtown (me and Millennium Park and the Cloud Gate are very good friends!)
And then I spent a whole lot of time at Cantigny! You know how much I love Cantigny, it’s a great location for engagement shoots or wedding day pictures if your schedule allows!
And then there were sessions all over the place!
Well that wraps up everything I shot in 2009! Next week, I’m featuring my advice segments such as constructing a timeline, accessories (loving this), first look information and more! So if you have any questions in general you would like me to answer just let me know and I’ll be sure to cover it!

So Megan and Jeremy opted to go to one of my favorite photo places in the suburbs and that’s Cantigny in Wheaton! I love that place, perfectly sculpted gardens all year long, great grounds and it’s not crowded, not even on the weekends! I need to buy a pass for next year! That’s for sure!
We laughed a lot, in fact looking back on the pictures, Megan and Jeremy were cracking up! I didn’t know I was that funny, and I’m sure I’m not!
