Kathryn and Ryan are soon to be world travelers for 7 months. That's right, folks, 7 months! How cool is that? So before they head off to exotic places like Argentina, they needed to have their engagement photos done. A couple hours later into the engagement session, we had explored the not-so-exotic, but just as beautiful, Chicago, tangoed and laughed.
Kathryn and Ryan, I can't wait to see your photos of the world! In the meantime, enjoy these.
Every so often during the shoot, I asked if there was a special photo or vibe they wanted to capture, and Carrie just smiled and said, Whatever you think best." Let me tell ya, this is music to a photographer's ears. *Contented sigh*
And, um, while I'm pretty sure Carrie might kill me when she sees her fun running photos, I HAD to post them. I can't stop laughing every time I see them. Not just a little laugh...I'm belly-laughing. Carrie is so beautiful, even when she's being a complete goofball (Edward, you're not so bad yourself). Yay to goofballs!
It's going to be a fun wedding.
Laurie these are so great. They look like a fun couple to work with!
(08.14.09 @ 12:11 PM)Laurie - These are AWESOME! You did such a great job I am so excited to have you photograph our wedding!!! (p.s. my sister LOVES the one where I am bopping Ed on the head, thanks for capturing that!!!)
(08.14.09 @ 01:19 PM)What a gorgeous couple! That last shot is an all-time favorite of yours, Laurie.
(08.14.09 @ 06:28 PM)I love my job and the opportunity to meet fantastic people!
Another thing I love is when I'm able to capture photos like these.
Sarah and Fred, I can't wait to photograph your wedding.
Great session! It looks like you had fun. I like the shots from the park the most, especially the one with them between the rows of trees.
(07.21.09 @ 11:12 PM)If Sarah looks this good for her engagement photos, i can only imagine how stunning she'll be as a bride!
(07.22.09 @ 05:56 PM)These are great photos. I love the various poses in various places. What a great looking couple!
(07.22.09 @ 08:27 PM)Fabulous Laurie! Both of her outfits suited the locations perfectly but I'm in love with that pink summer dress.
(07.25.09 @ 02:18 PM)I love these! Can't wait to have some our our own. Love the branches, stairs and moments that you caught!
