Man oh man. I’m a big proponent of laid-back engagement sessions with no set time limit, and this is why. Lindsey, Rolando and I started the evening out with a picnic in Humboldt Park (it would have made any foodie proud!) and finished off the night at Rosa’s Blues in Logan Square. We kept it mostly documentary, date-night style, and I’m glad that I got to tag along for the night. I’m so looking forward to their wedding in another park, this time outside of the city, this July.
I’m freshly sunburnt from a wonderful family trip to Key West, Florida and I thought I’d share a handful of photos from our time on the island. I love Key West, partially because I suspect its laid-back, balmy vibe is the closest I’ll get to Havana, Cuba anytime soon, and partially because I’m an avid reader of the Jazz Age / Lost Generation authors and anything to do with them (it’s a fictionalized account, but I highly recommend Z, A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald if that’s your thing, and I’m currently making my way through A Moveable Feast) so sitting on the veranda of Hemingway’s house and having a beer at Sloppy Joe’s are high on my list of things to do. A week along the ocean with my awesome in-laws was a much-needed remedy for this crazy Chicago winter that just wouldn’t quit, but I’m excited & inspired all over again to be back home, photographing rad couples in love.
Anni, I love this whole set! Totally makes me want to go to there 
Beautiful images that make me ITCH for Summer vacation!!! 
How fun! I haven’t been there since I was a kid and don’t remember much. I’d love to visit again with my photographer’s eye. Thanks for the eye candy today! 
beautiful pictures!
April, Brian and I met up in a small, dive-y in a good way, Hyde Park bar for a quick beer before we started shooting. We hoped the rain and gloom would clear up a bit before we set out to explore University of Chicago’s gorgeous campus, but I’m digging some of the moody photos that we ended up with, especially the above umbrella kiss and the last few frames on the rocks near Promontory Point.
What a beautiful bride and a beautiful couple! I love that first shot under the umbrella. Well done Anni!! Congrats to April and Brian. I’m sure their upcoming wedding will be STUNNING. 
These pictures are incredible! I especially love the black and white picture of Brian and April standing in front of the building! They look awesome and I can’t wait to see the wedding pictures! Great pictures and great couple 
Loooove the waterfront pics! 
Awesome compositions. These belong on a wall. 
Stunning photos. The photos of them looking out at the sea are my favourite. 
Stunning set!!! love the umbrella shot. |
