So you saw part 1 here right? Well if not, go back, watch, it’s a good time! Once we hit up Millennium Park, it start raining! And then Kim and Rob took off running, I walked. It cleared up and we hit up Kinzie St. Bridge for just a few more photos and then it was off to the reception at Holiday Inn Mart Plaza! It was fun and Kim and Rob even had a surprise first dance!
Kim and Rob were definitely one of my favorite couples. It started at their engagement session when they jumped in the fountain in Millennium Park and well, they’re Bears fans and that’s good with me! They definitely knew how to relax on their wedding day despite many obstacles which I will now list
1. Kim got bit by her dog a few days before the wedding, the stitch had to come out on her wedding day (which you will see in the slideshow!)
2. Her other beloved dog died just days before the wedding
3. The limo for the girls, got a flat tire (but a random stranger with a superman belt helped change it!)
4. The limo’s didn’t exactly have air blasting.
5. The coppers at North Ave beach wouldn’t let us park there so the limos had to return and pick us up on the side of the on ramp to Lake Shore Dr.
6. It was hot. Very very hot.
7. The rings got lost….but found!
8. I got bit by something but was not allergic wahoo!
9. and probably more, but I don’t remember…
The moral of this story was, that Kim and Rob didn’t let all of the craziness damper their day, they had fun, they laughed and it was all fine! Their wedding pictures are some of my favorites! I just love the ones of them in the financial district! And they did have a wonderful long honeymoon where I’m sure their adventure continued! You’ll also see that Kim had all the girls sign her shoe, and the one who’s name was most legible by the end of the night would be the next to get married or have a baby
Last weekend I met up with Phil and Lissa for their engagement session before their quickly approaching July wedding! I usually only meet with the bride so it was nice to meet Phil for the first time! I think they were nervous about pictures but don’t let them fool you, they were naturals, always giggling and smiling and of course I had planted some trees in the perfect spots and told them to bloom! I haven’t been to Museum Campus since last Fall so I was happy to be shooting there! I just love it over there as we can get some different types of things and a gorgeous skyline! I usually am in Lincoln Park or Millennium Park so it was a nice change! My new 2nd shooter Jessica also tagged along so it was fun to do another shoot with her there!
Anyway, enough about my babble, your just here for the pictures aren’t you?
I told you it was a lot of pictures!! I just love engagement sessions, they’re a lot of fun, completely relaxed and very little time limits! I hope you enjoyed these!
Kim and Rob are such an awesome couple and their wedding isn’t until mid 2010! Their wedding is going to be so much fun as well, when I first met with Kim and Rob we spent like 2 hours talking after I had finished up a wedding and they dealt with my mumblings! We connected at that moment!
They were seriously up for anything that I asked of them. And by the end of the day, I asked for a lot! But if I suggest it early enough, you know it’s a good idea at the end of the day! We started out on Rob’s rooftop where they got engaged and then Kim’s dad drove us around to take pictures all over Museum Campus and Millennium Park for a final stop. I really can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year!
We spent a lot of time around the Shedd located at: 1200 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL?
GO BEARS!!
Look at the air Kim got in those heels!!

I love Rob in this one!
I did start the session by saying they should go in the fountain, and by the end of it, they knew it was a good idea!
and an after shot!
I hope you guys enjoyed these! Sorry for the long wait!!
