Saturday morning I met up with Ann and Paul who live in Chicago and are taking me with them for their June wedding in Puerto Vallarta - woohoo!!! At least it will be warm there :) But really these two were so fun and I think these shots out in the cold, windy chicago winter will be a great contrast to the wedding in Mexico. I’m so excited to be working with these two. We really had a great time despite the chill and they warmed things up really fast. I know I say this all the time but I do have the best job in the world. I get to meet the most fun couples and I already feel like Ann is a good friend from all the emailing, etc… we’ve done in preparation for this wedding. So nice to spend the morning with you two. See you in June!!!

We stopped at this indoor garden to do a few shots that weren’t outside.
Â
I really like this photo. Ann has the bluest eyes. You’re cute too Paul :)
Â
Since they are moving away from Chicago in the not too distant future and this is Paul’s hometown we went down on the Pier and got some pics with the Chicago skyline in the background.

In the parking garage. We did have to be a little creative to keep from getting frostbite.

Â
I don’t get much of this in Cali. I love the snow and bare trees.

Snowball fight on the beach.Â

Warming up.

Can you tell how crazy these two are about each other?

Thanks guys! I had a blast.
Amazing as always!! I love the playful fun on the snowy beach.

Leigh - these are SO amazing! I wish you were in LA so I could have you make me look as gorgeous as Ann looks! And while it certainly looks chilly your pictures really capture the warmth of their love! (Is that too cheesy to say?!?)

thanks so much again for taking the time out of your weekend to spend with us in COLD Chicago! we finally have some great pictures of us to display. and these pictures will no doubt be very different from our beach wedding!
Paul and I had a blast hanging out with you - but next time let’s do it somewhere warm, like Puerto Vallarta!

[…] I had a blast shooting Ann and Paul’s Engagement session in snowy Chicago! It was something fun and different for me, being a California gal and all. So I decided to play a little with the cold theme and make them a slideshow - all black and white pics - all with a bluer rather than warmer tone. (This is also great Ann cause now you can show Paul the slideshow without going to the blog and he won’t see what I’m going to post later this week - hehe!) What I really like about these pics is, at least to me, they have a very timeless feel. When I look at them I think Ryan O’Neal and Ali McGraw in Love Story - sappy, I know! And honestly I’m not really a sappy person, ask anyone who knows me. So on with the show. Ann and Paul’s blue engagement session. I can’t believe I have to wait all the way until June to hangout with you two again. […]

[…] While I was in Chicago I got to shoot some boudoir photo for a few brides to be. It was so fun. They found me through Ann whose wedding I’m shooting in Puerto Vallarta and whose engagement pics are here and here. Boudoir sessions are something I’m starting to get more and more requests for and it really is a lot of fun for both me and the gals. It’s something I think every woman should do at least once in their life. I already have a few sessions set up later in the year in different cities and a different country even! So if you are looking for a boudoir photographer I will be in the following areas with shoots scheduled and spots available- […]
