Tim and Kristen got married last weekend! I shot their engagement session the week of the wedding.
Last minute engagement marathon!!
We started in Wicker Park and I met them as they exited the Damen blue line... |
| And right off the bat, Kristen got her shoes dirty! =( |
| Luckily, I had a bandana for her to clean up! We kept shooting around the "Park"... |
| One of their favorite places! |
| And then we headed to their place... |
| The cat was checking out the dog treats but the poor pup wanted no part of the session! |
| And we finally nabbed another shot... |
| Tim and I carried a chair out to the backyard for some more shots... |
| and we were off to Montrose Saloon where they had their first date! |
| An engagement session that ends with cheap beer is my kind of engagement session! |
| The wedding pics are coming up soon! |
| Dana and Jared are getting married this fall. We decided to do their engagement session near my place in Evanston and then headed into the city for a few more shots. Dana was rocking the poses! She was a natural. =) |
| There are some cool places in Evanston to shoot! |
| I asked them to get in their white shirts and roll up the jeans for some beach shots! |
| I was loving Dana's hair! |
| Playing around with some really pretty light... |
| They climbed up a tree for this one! |
| And then the hard part. Getting down! |
| The beach was empty so we played around a lot! |
| After our Evanston adventure we headed into the city. They met each other at Hidden Shamrock in Lincoln Park. |
| And then the Chicago skyline shot with a bird that photo-bombed our picture! =) |
| We ended our session with some cold treats! |
| Can't wait for the wedding! |
| and Mark. They chose the very cool, Salvage One, as their wedding venue. |
| Definitely a fan of the birdcage veil. |
| Her mother and sister help her in her dress... |
| And she was off to meet her man... |
| A quick spin and it was time for the photo shoot! |
| We headed out for some photos at Life's Too Short... |
| She noticed a few photos on my blog and wanted to shoot here. I have missed this place. It's so cool! |
| There's nothing gay about this. Um, er!?! =) |
| And then we arrived back at Salvage One for more photos! |
| The bride was killing the air hockey table! |
| I will pledge to always shoot the "dream" sign. =) |
| Mark's mother gets ready for the family photo session... |
| The best man waiting patiently for the ceremony to start! |
| Mark leads his mother to her front row seat! |
| And the ceremony begins... |
| Denise cried! I love when this happens!! |
| That's some major hat action going on! |
| I love this photo of Mark's mother... |
| They headed upstairs to catch their breath before joining everyone for cocktails... |
| And even a little miniature cake! |
| I photographed their engagement session a few months ago. Shortly after, their kitty passed away. =( |
| They gave everyone a set of chopsticks as their favors! |
| Everyone took their seat for the first dance... |
| I grabbed a quick shot of the dancing... |
| and I headed out for the night. |
| You know it's going to be a fun wedding when you show up to be greeted by a French Bulldog with a wonk eye. =) Nicole and Liam were a blast and we had fun having Margarita's at their favorite restaurant the week of their wedding! |
| Nicole's niece stealing my shot! |
| Her other little niece is in shock at how fast Sonia Roselli beats a face. I take no credit for the phrase "beating faces". That's all Sonia. |
| Nicole actually wore Paris Hilton shoes for her wedding day. Loves it. |
| We had to get some shots with her baby... |
| They were so excited for their first limo ride! |
| I love the look that her sister is giving her mother during the ceremony... |
| Liam spots me in the pews... |
| We chased the rain clouds after the ceremony. Liam and his best man guarded the bouquet while I was shooting the bride... |
| A quick stop at the restroom before the groom posed for the camera! |
| Nicole looked beautiful!!! |
| The scary rain clouds kept creeping up on us! |
| A quick shot of the bride... |
| And then the rain came down! |
| A few drinks before we took more photos... |
| The rain stopped and we ran to the train! |
| I think these next two are my favorites! |
| We arrived at their reception. Liam finished his last gulp before heading in for the party! |
| Debi from A Perfect Event did a great job with the decor and keeping the night running smoothly. |
| The best man gave a great speech... |
| The speeches were great. Not sure if you can tell that by this guys expression! He looks like he is going to kick my butt! =) |
| And a thumbs up from the bride with a smirk from the groom! |
| And then the dancing was ON! |
| The groom gave everyone an amazing rendition of "Party In The U.S.A."!!! |
| She was not ready for the party to end... |
| Nicole's father with his cool hat... |
| And I had to end this with the French Bulldog. What a face!!! |
| Hope to get another margarita with you both soon! |

| I think she just keeps getting cuter with each shoot. Ye, it's kind of disgusting. =) |
| Kim jumped in a few shots for Mother's Day. Danny...it's your turn next month! |
| I love how these came out!!! |
| Kim got Izzy's little feet ready for the cold sand. |
| Ha! She was just not impressed at first... |
| And then she fell in love with the beach... |
| Can't wait to see you guys next month. |
