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!

We're looking forward their beautiful wedding in Laguna Beach, California this fall....!!!

Be blessed everyone!

What an incredible engagement session with Tanya and Pete....! Aren't they fabulous? Up for anything, very fun, and not to mention b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l....!!! Our friends, and clients, Kim and Greg introduced us to this sweet couple. I was on the phone with Kim and she was telling me that Pete was just about ready to propose to Tanya.

This is Isabelle and her uber wonderful fiance, Michael. They're getting married at the Chicago Botanic Garden this summer. We are so excited and not to mentioned extremely honored to be photographing their beautiful wedding. We met Isabelle and her sweet mom through their event planner, Reva Nathan. Reva is one of the most sought after event planners in the city and she is fabulous!!! We can't say enough good things about her. If you're looking to plan an event, she's is so talented and her staff is equally amazing.

Meet Lacey and Pat, our super fabulous clients getting married at Ritz Carlton in Chicago this fall. They are such a fun couple and up for anything. We met them through their event planner, Jennifer Anderson. It's the first time we'll be working with Jennifer and we're totally excited. If all her clients are as fun as Lacey and Pat, count us in.

I love this post! I don't think I've ever opened a blog post with those words but this one is so special. I was on the phone with Kim Reilly, our beautiful bride from this summer! We were talking about her wedding and she mentioned she had a party to go to over the weekend. One of her best friends was getting engaged. It was a surprise and Kim was going to the party after the proposal. I immediately offered up Bob's services because I've always wanted to have a proposal in our portfolio. Kim was so amazing and graciously referred Pete to us.

When I spoke to Pete on the phone, he seems so nervous! He was so cute. He wanted everything to be perfect. Bob worked out the details with Pete and everything was.............. perfect!

Thank you Pete for allowing Bob to tag along as you ask the love of your life to marry you! We wish you and Tanya a lifetime of happiness...

We met Crystal and Ron for the very first time in Starbucks the day of their engagement session. They were referred to us by our dear friends and past clients, Rebecca and Kenny. Thank you R&K... we love you so much!

I talked to Crystal over the phone and she booked us for their upcoming wedding at the Westin in Maui, Hawaii in August. They are one of the sweetest, most fun couples on earth! Look at them. They were just a blast to spend the afternoon with. Crystal was up for anything and wanted some fun and crazy photos. And Ron, well you can just see how much he loves her. You just know he would follow her anywhere! I fell in love with you both this day and I can't wait for Bob to photograph your wedding so that I can design a fine art book that you can treasure a lifetime!!!

Since I've already blogged Kim and Greg's Wedding, I thought I would share some images Bob took from their engagement session and a few from Kim's final dress fitting! I just adore these guys as they are so fun and so photogenic.

Kim, thank you so much for your beautiful phone call yesterday. Every word, every laugh, brought such a great big smile to my face. You are so sweet and I'm so glad that you love the photos from your magical day. And knowing that your Mom is so excited makes me even more happy!!! You are a breath of fresh air and I'm so glad to know you!
