Ali and Scott's wedding

I helped out my friend Ana Miyares for a downtown Chicago wedding a while back.

Scott and Ali's first look


Ali and her sister had a great time together the whole day


The wedding party was lots of fun!








Ali and Scott had a bagpiper lead them out of the ceremony, which brought many guests to tears






One of the best cakes I've ever seen! Ali surprised her groom with this.

Jessamyn and Michael's engagement

I spent a lovely afternoon with Jessamyn and Michael for their engagement session. I do most of my sessions in the warm weather outside, so I love the challenge of shooting all indoors when the weather is not quite as forgiving.

We started at the Cultural Center downtown. I love these lights on the floor.


They're very cute together and really didn't need any direction from me.








A little walk outside


We next hit up the lobby of Hotel Allegro. There are so many fabulous places there.












Thanks for a fabulous afternoon, Jessamyn and Michael!
