Tony and Bridgette were so much fun. I shot at a few places that are brand new to me. They had a few locations scouted and I was more than happy to check them out!

Brave man!

Tony gives Bridgette a hand getting down off the rocks.

Both Bridgette and Tony are actors. They knew how to put on a show for the camera! Actors make my job much easier. =)


It was only appropriate to get some pictures with Shakespeare.

You can’t expect to take Shakespeare serious all of the time.

Ah, the blue trees in Lincoln Park. I will be honest. They frighten me.
Tony and Bridgette wanted to shoot here and I am so glad they did. I love how they came out!

Monkeyin’ around.


They both have some good moves! Tony, who is featured in Billy Elliot here in Chicago gets lots of practice!

Bridgette was giving her Top Model pose here!

We found a lot of great spots to take pictures at on the west side of the city.



Continuing the silliness.

Getting some cuddle time in on the grass.

Time for your close-up, Bridgette.

I took a few quick headshots for both Bridgette…

and Tony!


Next we went to their apartment for a change of outfits. They introduced me to their adorable dogs.

Too much!

And then there’s this guy. What a happy face!

Some play time.

And they walked away BFF’s.

A cute family picture. He wanted kisses, too!

We left the dogs to do their thing, and headed back out on the town.



Some pictures on this loading bay.


Car trouble! Somehow, the wheel of my car got stuck in a grate on the side of the road. Tony was quick to help me out. He rules.

Last stop was the beach across from Lincoln Park Zoo. I had never shot on this bridge before!

We had to stop for a couple of pictures.


I love this place!

Some pictures in the sand under the bridge.


Then onto the shoreline. The weather was perfect for some time by the lake.


What is this thing? It’s either a sculpture or something out of an episode of “Lost”.

Thanks for a great afternoon, Tony and Bridgette! You guys are a lot of fun and I’m even more excited to shoot your wedding next year!
