Winter Engagement Photography

Jacklyn never even stood a chance. Mark planned everything to the tiniest detail. Her parents knew, her best friend knew, Mark and I coordinated a cover story. I was to be a photography masters student, who needed a couple to finish his thesis - and I was the brother of ...

Brie and Jason have a great relationship - I could see that as soon as we met (even before they hired me to photograph their wedding). They're both a lot of fun to be around - sort of like there is this 'work hard, play hard and have fun' aura ...

It was cold when we did Steve and Jasa's winter engagement session in Chicago. Cold but not as cold as it is now. (it's negative 13 degrees out right now - that's cold!). The thing that stuck out about Steve and Jasa right away was that they were a really good ...

I'm pretty pumped to shoot Stephanie and Rhett's wedding later this year! #woot (do hashtags even work here?) Stephanie is a reporter for DNAChicago, check out one of her articles here. She's a much better writer than I am, so onto the photos! ...

There's just something incredible about Lincoln Park in the winter. This is where we started Genet + Samuel's engagement photos. It's an incredibly diverse and fun neighborhood with lots of little nooks and crannies. After a short walk through Lincoln Park Zoo we headed to North Avenue ...

Gintare + AJ's engagement session was insanely fun. We walked around Waterfall Glen in knee high snow for about two hours. Luckily it was about 40 degrees, making the snow ideal for a snowball fight. And yes, they really did smash giant snow blocks over each other's ...

Christy and Joe wanted some awesome Chicago engagement photos. We chose to start at sunrise on North Avenue Beach because of the spectacular view of Chicago (the best in my opinion). We had no idea that everything would be frozen when we got there. Frozen solid! The ...

We planned Haley & Michael's engagement session a month ago hoping that it would snow.  What we got, was an all day blizzard - a recipe for EPIC photos! Hope you enjoy these as much as we did making them! ...

Congratulations to Nicole and Andy on their engagement! I can't wait to photograph their wedding next year! Hope you enjoy the photos from our walk around Lincoln Park Zoo. And if you'd like to see how Andy proposed to Nicole, you can see the photos right here! ...
