Jori and John braved the cold for some engagement photos at Lake Katherine the other day. I'm so excited that they chose me to take their portraits! Here's just a little preview from our session.

Monica and Dan's Engagement Session
We love this session for a few reasons: First of all, Monica and Dan are two very dear friends of ours and we love spending time with them. We absolutely couldn't be happier that they asked us to be their photographers for their big day! Secondly, this shoot goes to show that we can quite literally do portraits anywhere and they are going to be awesome.
Dan is a mechanics teacher at the local high school where Monica teaches art. As an incredibly talented artist, Monica sees beauty in everything and their choice of location was completely perfect for them! We started the shoot at the junkyard, made our way over to the wind turbines - which is a special location for the two of them - and ended the shoot with pizza at Bianchi's Pizza which is their {and our} favorite pizza joint.
Take a look at a few of our favorite images from their Engagement Session:

We are so excited to photograph our friends Monica and Dan's wedding next June! I'm also excited that they chose to do their engagement photos at a freaking junkyard!
Julie and Jerome's Engagement Session
Julie and Jerome are hands-down my most-anticipated wedding couple of 2014. I don't mean to play favorites, BUT Julie is my sister, so being able to be a part of her wedding day just fills me with joy. Julie and Jerome elected to do their engagement session in and around their neighborhood of Pilsen in Chicago. We had fun choosing different murals to use as backgrounds, and ended up at the beach to finish off their shoot.
I am a person of few words, so I am going to save all the sappy things I could say about these two beautiful people for the wedding day toast I will be giving.
The fact that my eyes are welling up with tears just thinking about it does not bode well for the actual presentation of the toast.
Lord help me.
