Bryana and Deak are two that you may or may not have seen on my blog before! They were both at Stephanie and Daves wedding and Deak was in Erika and Matt’s wedding! So I’ve seen a lot of them and it’s been fun! We finally got around to doing their engagement pictures and it was so much fun! In fact, one of my favorite sessions to date! The color was perfect in Lincoln Park this time of year and I was so happy there was still leaves on the trees and it wasn’t too cold, though I did break out the UnderArmour for this one (yes, I have heat gear). We had a lot of fun and I really can’t wait for their wedding next year at one of my favorite places ever, Cantigny!

So without further ado, a nice little slideshow that’s now mobile ready! YAY! And just for you Bryana, the song is called Save Me

Ok ok, get off my back, I’m sorry that this is so long awaited! I had to go out of town for a weekend which meant that week kind of went off to preparing for that, then I get sick! How dare I right? I’ve got that nasty sinus cold that’s going around and the sinus headaches that come with it are KILLER. Poor Jen has probably been stalking, her mom has been calling and I’ve been hiding from the light as that makes the headaches worse!

Things I loved about Jen and Scotts wedding photos:
1. Scott was a total goofball.
2. you can really tell how much they care for each other
3. They stopped at Harry Caray’s for a beer which was on the top of their to-do list that day!
4. I love them so much they’re becoming a new sample album
5. I loved Jen’s styling of the wedding for a late September date, lots of little details!
6. we got a free cab ride
7. outdoor wedding, downtown chicago? perfection!
8. plenty of time left for pictures!!

For all you looking for locations, here’s where we were all day!

So does everyone remember a few months ago when I posted round 1 of Karen and Greg’s engagement pictures? (ok, click here if you don’t!) Well they wanted more fall pics before their upcoming (eep!! Karen are you ready??) wedding in mid-November.

So you’ll see a lot more of them on the blog! We decided to hit up Busse Woods in Schaumburg. Now I’d tell you the address, but there’s not really one and the one place we thought was an actual building turned out to be a few trailers (no joke).

This first one was caught and I don’t think Karen or Greg knew!

Love the Fall colors!

Ok, I feel the need I have to explain this picture for Karen and Greg’s sake! At their wedding shower, they were given these hats because Karen is a huge Friends fan and of course the rest of you out there understand that “they’re each others lobsters!”

big giant field = gorgeous.

love.

I’ll see you soon Karen and Greg!! And can you believe it’ll be your WEDDING DAY?! I look forward to photographing it for you!

I’m sure Jessica has been stalking this blog for these ever since we took them the last weekend of September! We decided to do what I call the Grant Park tour which takes us all the way around and ends up in Millennium Park I hope everyone has at least gone there ONCE! I feel like I’m there at least every week whether for engagements or weddings, but me and the cloud gate are good friends!

Jessica and Lane were so much fun and pretty much up for anything I would ask of them! Their wedding isn’t until Summer 2010 but it’s that time of year to get in engagement shoots!

::swoon::

there was a bit of contact involved in the walking picture, haha!

This was way too cute. I told Lane to sit and then for Jessica to sit in between his legs. She just plopped herself down in his lap!

Hope you enjoy them! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next year!

Hi Jen! Just thought I’d say hi to my blog stalker since I know she’s been waiting very impatiently for this! I have to say that I loved photographing Jen and Scott’s wedding. They were relaxed, had plenty of time for portraits and even would’ve braved the rain if needed! Not only that, my husband (David) taped my ankle for their wedding because just a week before was when I severely sprained it (still hurts to this day!). They were more worried about me but I think I was a trouper too.

Jen put so many details into the day she even joked it was a online wedding since so much of the stuff she ordered offline! Either way, it was way fun to photograph! We started out the day getting ready and meeting.

We then headed over to Wrigley Field and Harry Caray’s for a some photos and a quick drink! Have you ever been to Harry Caray’s? It was hilarious and Mike Ditka was even there! (ok it was an impersonator but still funny) 33 W. Kinzie Street, Chicago | Phone: 773.HOLY.COW (I love their phone number!!)

Scott cracked me up at every turn! This is what happened when I asked him to give me some sass!!

We then made a quick stop at North Avenue Beach: 1600 N Lake Shore Dr, Chicago IL which is an awesome background for wedding photography!

the flying V will never be the same…

Gotta love it.

We then packed into the limo to head over to the Cancer Survivor Gardens which was so awesome! It literally is right next to Lake Shore and you can see Museum Campus down the line. It’s located not far from Millennium Park at all. It’s actually located at 337 E Randolph St, Chicago IL

and then I had some time alone with Jen and Scott after their wedding for bride and groom portraits. We headed to the riverwalk to do that!

And finally to Maggiano’s for the reception 516 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60654-7102

I hope that was enough of a tease for you Jen & Scott! It was a lot of fun being the photographer for your wedding! I can’t wait for you to see the slideshow!

I’m sure Beth’s been stalking my blog for the past week for when this is going to go up. And I appreciate that I feel loved! Ok, I know you probably won’t even read this and will just hurry and click on the slideshow, it’s ok, I forgive you!

Ok, so I’ve been working HARD and I know Sharon has been waiting so (im)patiently for this….and that’s ok! I would too! I was a stinker and posted those teasers last week AND the second half will be later tonight

Music provided by Dave Kaz (also on iTunes, look him up, love it!)

So we did some back to back engagement session and I promised Brooke and Kevin that I’d be quick like a bunny with these, but I got engrossed in catching up on weddings! But the 2nd set is promised to come much faster

I followed Nicole and Mark at the end of their wedding day. Originally, I had planned on only doing a few photos but then a few turned into several more and well, slideshow time it was! So alas, here you go! (google readers, you have to come to my blog to see, I know I know, I’m mean )

So Kim and Mike were my 2nd engagement session for Saturday!  They were a bunch of fun and I have too many pictures especially because they wanted some more edgy type feel ones.  Done and done.  Oh and they wanted to be on the blog, so here they are

We started in Grant Park and Millennium Park downtown located at 201 E. Randolph Street Chicago IL

And there you have some   I’m seriously burning through these sessions now, and the last 2 of those are my favs!

Ok, back to the grind,

Kar
