Vanna + Josh; Chicago Engagement Photographer

Vanna and I first met in college while taking a photography class together! We’ve remained friends on Facebook and about a year ago out of the blue, Vanna wrote the absolute SWEETEST note complimenting my photography. I can’t begin to tell you just how much it meant that she took time to write that little note and it’s held a special place in my heart ever since. It’s always wonderful to hear someone compliment your work and especially wonderful when it’s a fellow photographer like her!!

When Vanna contacted me to take engagement portraits of her and her fiance, I was SO ecstatic! I love photographing couples and it was so awesome to meet her fiance Josh. They are truly some of the nicest people and have the sweetest dispositions. We started out taking portraits at the park across the street from their home in Chicago! They wanted to include their sweet pup Penny for a few photographs and it was too much fun watching her play in the park and seeing how much they adore her and she adore them. After the park, we hopped on over to Michigan Ave. for some fun portraits by the bridge! It was crazy busy and they ran into a friend (small world) which made for a fun time. We even got to borrow a sweet motorcycle for some fun shots! For our final stop, we landed at Northerly Island Park and the Skyline view from the Adler Planetarium. Northerly Island is an amazing tucked away park that has gorgeous wildflowers and even a small little beach. Despite the fact there was a wedding at the Planetarium and most of the road blocked off, we quickly ran out by the skyline to snap a few portraits JUST in the nick of time before getting ticketed!! It was quite the adventure and I’ve been dying for them to see how their portraits turned out!!

I’m so happy I got to capture their engagement portraits for them and can’t wait to see what’s in store next!! Enjoy!

P.S. Doesn’t Vanna have the MOST gorgeous blue eyes?!
