Chris + Emily: Engagement in Lincoln Park

Happy Friday! What better way to celebrate than with a fun-loving, sunset engagement shoot of Chris and Emily in the beautiful Lincoln Park. We absolutely love it when couples make their shoot their own, and that was exactly what these two running-enthusiasts did. After a fantastic time of taking classic pictures around Cafe Brauer and the Lincoln Park Zoo, they laced up their sneakers and we headed to the lakefront path for some fun, lifestyle photos. Here are a few images from the shoot, we're thrilled for these two lovebirds (and look forward to sharing their upcoming wedding on the blog in a few months!).

Anthony + Carly: Wedding at Promontory Point, Chicago

To introduce you to Anthony and Carly, I think we just need to start at the end. The ceremony was over, the dancing was just wrapping up, people were roasting s'mores over a bonfire down by Lake Michigan...and the groom was changing his pants so that he and his newlywed bride could wade out into the freezing cold water. Just for fun. Because that's the adventurous joy in life and love you will find in Anthony and Carly.

It was a beautiful, fun-filled wedding at Chicago's Promontory Point on a spring Sunday afternoon, with the sky over Lake Michigan putting on a show in the background. And it was an honor to take part in capturing the marriage of Anthony and Carly, a couple we've known for quite some time, and whose family feels like ours. We hope you enjoy these images from their day as much as we enjoyed taking them!
