So, I'm a little late..... again! I'm just about ready to post the most beautiful wedding of Leah and Jon and realized I haven't posted their engagement session from last fall in beautiful Central Park, New York City! I really am in awe them. They are so much fun, and up for anything... as you can see from their rainy day photos! We happened to be in NY last October and it worked out perfectly because they live there. Bob and our cute intern at the time, Jordana, worked their magic and made lemons out of lemonade with all the rain.

Central Park is where Jon proposed to Leah so these are really special and I'm excited to share them with you!

Better late than never, I always say!

With love......

Their story is too cute. Melissa was approached by a friend at work asking if she was available because he knew a guy she just had to meet. After hearing all the details about his friend, Ben, her reply was "Is he funny? He has to be funny?" Her friend said assured her he was and told her to watch for an email from him. Well, an email from Ben arrived asking her if they could set a time to meet so they could discuss his love for fake gold jewelry, hair gel and tanning, Melissa realized her friend had set her up with a down-to-earth and fun-loving guy!

After their 1st date at the Trump Tower Chicago - Rebar Lounge, they set another date, and another. The rest is history!

Ohhhh, I just couldn't be more excited to share the engagement session of Melissa and Ben! They started at the Chicago Cultural Center and can I just say........ what a beautiful venue!!!

Melissa & Ben, you both are incredibly beautiful and so sweet. I can't wait for your wedding!!!

Enjoy!

I am in awe the clients that God brings into our lives. We met Taylor & Scott through their event planner, Jan Ehrenberg of Parties, Events & More. Thank you Jan! Taylor and her family are the sweetest people on earth. I can't wait for their wedding this Sunday. YES, I said it..... this Sunday. And YES, it took me this long to blog their engagement session. I know... I know... I'm a procrastinator. Actually, I'm a mom and that keeps me busy on top of running an incredible business. Oh and let's not forget to mention that I have 3 kids (which includes my husband!).

It was a beautiful Fall day. We met Taylor & Scott at the Chicago Botanic Garden where we got some spectacular photos and then headed downtown Chicago to do some night shots. So much fun!!! Ican't wait to share images from their wedding. Bob just photographed Taylor's dress fitting yesterday and OMG....... you are not going to want to miss seeing her dress! I promise not to wait long!

Love to you all....

We adore Laura and Joe! They are fun, sweet and so beautiful. We met Laura through a former bride of ours, Sarina Gelvan. Thank you Sarina!!! Laura is the Publisher of Dining Out magazine here in Chicago. Awesome magazine if you're looking for great entertainment and wonderful restaurants to indulge in. We had a great time shooting their engagement session in Chicago. Laura is perfectly beautiful and I love the way Joe looks at her. There is nothing more sexy to me than the way a man loves his woman! Joe loves Laura!!!! It's beautiful to see!
