Anne Marie + Mark | Chicago, IL

Anne Marie and Mark are full of laughter and love. They share a respect for each other and their relationship that I admire. Mark is quiet and reserved but he doesn’t let that stop him from showing Anne Marie how much he adores her. During their engagement session we talked about the dance they were learning together for their wedding reception. Mark was nervous about it but it was sweet to hear that he was practicing diligently to make sure he would get all the steps down in time for the wedding. I’m sure he knew it would make Anne Marie so happy. Well, we photographed their wedding a week ago and I can’t give either of them enough props for nailing their dance together. They looked like they came straight out of SYTYCD! They had a standing ovation from the whole room. It was nothing short of awesome.
Thanks to Katie and David, Anne Marie and Mark contacted us almost a year and a half ago about shooting their wedding. It’s hard to believe that much time has already passed and that they’ve now been married for 1 week. We got together the week before the wedding to do this engagement shoot. The sunshine was perfect and besides all of the pesky bugs and the melting temperature we had a great time. Looking at these images makes me wish summer would stay forever. Congratulations AM + Mark! We love you guys!

Cheryl + Chris | Chicago, IL

Today we are off to shoot Chris & Cheryl’s wedding at The Ivy Room. It’s one of our favorite places and we can hardly believe the amazing weather Chicago is having this weekend. It’s just perfect.

Before I go any further though, I have to mention that Cheryl and Chris just finished up a the Soldier Field 10 mile run this morning in celebration of their wedding day. Talk about inspiration. These two are so passionate. When I asked Cheryl to describe what an average day is like for her, one thing that stood out is that she runs to and from work with her backpack full of her work clothes. That is the only way she can fit exercise into her busy schedule right now. I love this girl and Chris is a perfect match for her. Here are a few pictures from their engagement session last week at University of Chicago. Congrats on your race Cheryl and Chris! We can’t wait to party with you guys tonight!

Tomorrow we will be waking up early hop in the car and drive 6 hours to Leonard, MI for Jill and Nick’s wedding. It’s going to be a whirlwind of a weekend so let the fun begin! We will be back in the office on Tuesday to return emails and phone calls. Enjoy the holiday everyone!

Jill & Nick | North Avenue Beach | Engagement Session

Nick and Jill are probably the most laid back couple I have ever hung out with. We had a blast at North Avenue Beach here in Chicago, IL shooting their Engagement Session. Looking at these picks it’s hard to believe the warm weather is gone for us. Nick owns a sausage company in Michigan where they are getting married next year, and I met Jill, who is a food stylist, while working with Stephen Hamilton. (one of the best food shooters in the world) We are so excited to shoot Jill and Nick’s wedding next year in Michigan. Congratulations, hope to see you guys again soon!
