Kat and Josh. Josh and Kat. Everything I start to type out is reading clichéd. But there’s nothing trite about love. This is the stuff of stories, the stuff that makes life full and oh so happy. Instead of trying to describe it for you, I’m going to let the photos do the talking, and share a story of the kind of awesomeness that was the evening the three of us spent exploring Kat and Josh’s favorite places in Chicago. Kat had talked to the people over at Congress Theater about taking a few engagement photos inside, so we were able to bypass the line of people waiting to get in for that night’s concert. After spending some time in the grand lobby, we ducked into the main theater where the band was doing a pre-show run-through. The theater was completely empty, wide open except for the band onstage, and Josh and Kat danced to the song playing just for them.
Such a cool set! Pure unadulterated love captured with a killer eye. 
As usual, these are so intimate and natural, it’s like they didn’t even know you were there. I love that about your photos. 
these. in the best possible way. you capture the emotions and the real deal so perfectly. love. 
These are breathtaking. 
I love how you went up and down and close and far and did everything possible to get the most unique angles! 
Wow, these are so lovely. There are so many awesome shots (but I think my favorite might be the one where they’re hiding behind the book) 
OMG CUPCAKES! Every engagement session should have cupcakes (I hope you got one!) I love subtle vintage tone to this, it feels very timeless. 
So cool! Who gets to say they danced in a theater alone with a band playing for them?! Great photos! 
that second image down is my favorite one from this set. totally canvas-worthy! 
That’s come serious biz, right there. Love your unique approach to your photography. 
Awesome couple! What fun! Love this shoot 
I bet they felt like they were the only 2 people in the whole world. What a beautiful session. 
What a gorgeous session… their engagement photos really looks amazing!!! Now, I can’t wait to see their wedding photos too…. 
Oh my gosh, these photos are so beautiful. I especially love the one of them dancing from far away, you really captured the romance 
Lovely images! My favorites are the very first shot and the entire set with the cupcakes. 
great set of images. love her dress! 
I just gasped out loud, these are too beautiful for words. What a beautiful pair and I can’t stop staring at her lips, she rocks that lip color, it’s gorgeous on her! xo 
What a sweet couple and an even sweeter session. I love the shots of them in a cupcake shop 
What a beautiful location! I love how fun and playful they are together. You can really tell they love each other. Absolutely stunning!
Joy. All day long, a sense of complete and utter joy followed Naomi & Trevor around. It came from them – their love for each other, for their families – but it also came from the people around them. The second that we walked into the reception space after driving over from the hotel where Naomi and the bridesmaids got ready, Trevor’s mom came over, introduced herself, and said “can you believe this beautiful, wonderful woman is about to become my daughter-in-law? How lucky am I?” Family was present in every bit of this wedding, from the beautiful arch that Naomi’s parents built for the ceremony, to the song that her grandpa serenaded the couple with after the rest of the guests had gone up to enjoy cocktail hour. And at the heart of it all was the reason for all of the love and joy – Naomi and Trevor, who look at each other with such love, and grab each others’ hands so tightly as if to never let go. Thank you, Naomi, Trevor, and your big, beautiful family for letting me celebrate with you.
 
A beautiful couple at a stunning location!! Wonderful work yet again Anni! XOXOXO
