Sometimes it’s fun to stand out in the rain. More from this lovely Chicago engagement session soon.

Sara and Jason know how to laugh. A lot. So you can bet I had the best time with them during their engagement session! They are planning to incorporate lots of wildflowers into their wedding decor next year, so we spent some time wandering through the wildflower fields at Montrose Harbor. This place never disappoints. I’ve loved it in every season, but the fall leaves and warm light of that afternoon may have made it my favorite time there yet. We even wrapped up the session with a beer at Waterhouse in Lakeview where they had their first date! Such a laid back, refreshing engagement session. Sara and Jason, this time spent photographing you has me all the more excited for your wedding!

Jillian is a fellow naturally curly girl and she’s my cousin-in-law. What’s not to love? I was so excited when she and Dave asked me to schedule their engagement session during a visit to Grand Rapids. What a fantastic city; it has somehow become way cooler than it was when I lived there eight years ago. We started out at the 6th Street Bridge and made our way over to Cherry Street. Strolling past the antique stores on a red brick road made a beautiful backdrop in one of the most happening neighborhoods in the city.

Kelly and Pete had me excited for their engagement session from the moment I met them. I mean, who wouldn’t love a couple that arrives at their photographer’s consultation giggling and holding hands? And sure, they both have serious careers in optometry, but I’m pretty sure they should be modeling on the side. There is just so much to like about them, from the meaningful mission work they do bringing optometry care to people in developing countries to the way they interact with each other. Kelly smiles all the time, and Pete suggested that she even laughs when she’s mad (I can’t imagine her mad!). I loved that they both wanted to incorporate props into their photos (though I understand it was Pete who was the real mastermind behind the L-O-V-E letters) and some important, expensive optic lenses made an entertaining appearance as well. We began with photos around the Kinzie Street Bridge, then headed over to Lincoln Park’s incredible Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, and finished up at the ever-popular North Avenue Beach. I could not have imagined a better fall day for their session. Perfect light, perfect couple. I can’t wait for their wedding next May!

Everything about Sarah and Nate’s downtown Chicago wedding was modern and bright. The fuchsia and orange color palette absolutely glowed from the invitations, designed by the bride’s sister Erin German, to the bouquets. Sarah wore a dreamy champagne mermaid-cut gown perfected with a cathedral length veil, which she adored (and I did too!). The bridesmaids bouquets featured fuchsia roses and orange tulips accented with green spider mums. I simply couldn’t get enough when I was photographing all of the modern details at this wedding! Sarah and Nate are truly happy together. Their laughter and joy was evident in every image, and they made my job a true delight from their engagement session all the way to their oh-so-fun reception – such a great party!
Justine Bursoni was my invaluable second photographer that day and captured this photo that I love of the processional:
My angle made me really happy, too:
Sarah and Nate, it was an honor to be your wedding photographer and to get to know you throughout your planning. Thank you for having me there and for being such a joy to photograph!
