shilpa & toby are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 3 Comments

matt spent wednesday afternoon enjoying one of his new favorite things, sailing, while shooting an engagement session for an incredible couple from chicago. i haven’t been this jealous in a while; as i got dinner together, matt recounted his afternoon. i listened carefully knowing that we’d be shooting their wedding this weekend and wanting to get to know them as much as possible first. matt told me about how kind they are to one another and how relaxed and comfortable they are together. as doctors in the windy city, shilpa and toby are always learning, teaching and helping. while matt talked about how shilpa listened closely to toby as he gently taught her how to sail, i could see clearly why these two are so successful professionally and also personally, together. it will be beautiful to watch them pledge their lives to one another tomorrow. 

later last night while we were watching the olympics matt looked up quickly and said there was one more thing he wanted me to know about them. ‘they like the office!’ ah, saturday will be a good day!

shilpa & toby, we’re looking forward to seeing you guys tonight and tomorrow. i can’t wait to spend time with you and your family and friends!

laura & jason are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 8 Comments

i’d like you to meet two of our newest favorite people, laura & jason! as many of you who have contacted us know, we’re pretty busy so it’s not easy for us to schedule shoots with short notice unless you’re super hardcore (laura & jason) and willing to get up at 5am to get ready to shoot by sunrise. ridiculous, right?! i mean who in the world looks this rockin’ at 6:30 am?! to put it in perspective matt and i, literally, dressed in the dark- it wasn’t until we arrived that i realized matt had on a light blue vneck, brown plaid shorts and orange socks with his old green pumas and i wasn’t much better. let’s pretend we dressed like that on purpose to elicit smiles and giggles from laura and jason. bottom line, our clients never cease to amaze us; laura and jason, you did a fabulous job being in love in front of the camera- we had a great time with you two:

poor jason- soccer has destroyed his knees. i’m pretty sure this look is masked pain from getting into this position in the first place. i found out about all of the surgeries after this and felt so bad for asking him to take a seat on the ground! i have perfectly healthy knees and it’s not always easy to just drop to the ground- and then there’s getting back up! jason- you’re the man.

how perfect is it that jason holds both of laura’s hands in his one hand!? i love it.

this next black and white is one of my all-time favorite engagement pics we’ve taken. i think it’s just such so beautiful of them.

jessica & earl are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 10 Comments

note: right now we are on vacation in a timeless little beach community on lake michigan. my dad used to spend his summers up here and since then nothing much has changed (including technology, i guess that’s a good thing…). we miss you all and beacuse we don’t want you to forget us ( :( ) we’ve got a few posts lined up to post while we’re away. love!

in may, we met jessica and earl for some quality pizza and even better conversation. we found out quickly we share a love of strange pizza flavors, motorcycling (though we are retired…i think), personal finance and of course- marriage! as these high school sweethearts told us their story we learned that earl was actually on leave from the air force for just three more days. we really felt special that they had taken some of their precious time together to hang out with us! we really fell in love with them and were happy to drop everything to squeeze in an engagement session before his leave ended but we did let them know it would be a while before we were able to take time to edit the images. it was great to squeeze it in while it was nice weather and i’m so excited to share their images with you now:

jessica & earl, thank you guys for being so generous with your precious time together! we had a great time getting to know you guys and we are so excited for you guys to be married. can’t wait for your wedding! :)
