Terry and Laura – touring their Windy City

Friday, May 7th, 2010

We headed back to the friendly confines of Chicago with another fantastic couple — Terry and Laura who are getting married in just a couple of months in our neck of the woods. They live in Chicago but plan to marry in Central Illinois.

This pair of doctors are getting ready to move to Montana shortly after getting married, but wanted to be sure to tie the knot before heading west. Both of their families live in Illinois and the surrounding states and it would have been bad to go out there and then get married.

This couple is made for each other — and lots and lots of fun to work with!

They put up with me (as many of our couples do) with my suddenly stopping where we were going for a quick shot as I was (as usual) in visual overload in the city.

We did most of the shots at Jackson Park where the Osaka Japanese gardens are located and then headed for Promontory Point. Both places are special for these two — with the Point being where Terry slowed down during a walk and proposed.

I love those romantic spots!

We will be seeing them at Illinois University’s Allerton Park later this year and very much look forward to working with them again!

We stopped midway a tunnel to grab a quick -- and very unplanned -- shot near the Museum of Science and Industry.

Engaged at Starved Rock

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Jennifer and Chris took a trip back to one of their favorite places at Starved Rock near Oglesby, Illinois, while seeking the photos that would say it all about their engagement.

The Chicago-couple (okay — actually Frankfurt couple but Chicago sounds much nicer to me!)  found themselves all over the place in a short period of time as we attempted to capture their essence as a couple.

You could say they’re a bit in love. Well, maybe a lot in love! And the day proved to be perfect for capturing that intensity. It was a bit wet (muddy) for our trip but this did not do anything to lessen the fun.

This is the place where Chris proposed to Jennifer — and where they said they make a yearly pilgrimage. Who can resist? It is a gorgeous, gorgeous place to visit. Water, trees and lots of beauty. And they had no problems fitting in.

She teaches photography at a high school while he is a pipe fitter. I have to admit, this combination seemed a bit unusual to me. Silly me. It’s pretty obvious they were meant for each other.

They are getting married just a bit later this summer — so watch out for more photos coming in the not too distant future of this beautiful couple.
