As a Chicago proposal photographer, I watched Taylor and Meghan change their lives today.They are two completely amazing people, fun, caring and adventurous. Meghan had no idea Taylor was about to propose and she braved the December Chicago cold for what she thought was just a fun photo shoot. ...

We captured some pretty awesome Chicago engagement photos with Raj and Jackie. Then I found out Raj gave Jackie a ring pop when he proposed - and I think that's pretty epic!

Chrissy + Paul's engagement session was pretty amazing. They wanted their engagement photos in Chicago because it's pretty special to them in more ways than one. I could see right away how personable both of them were, easy to talk to and fun to be around. Most importantly, they have ...

My favorite kind of engagement sessions are the ones where my couple looks at our time together as a chance to experiment and be creative. That's exactly what happened with Amber and Jacob's Chicago engagement session - we just walked around and explored some unique areas that I've never been ...

There are few things I love more than doughnuts and coffee. This also goes for Jean and Viet - they LOVE doughnuts. They took me to Firecakes as part of their engagement session, yum! After we stuffed our faces we explored the area around Chicago! Hope you enjoy the photos ...

It's easy to be in front of a camera when you're having fun. At least that's how I approach my Chicago engagement sessions. 99% of my couples have never been professionally photographed before so I always assume they have some angst about the process. It's super important to me that ...
