Ariel & Michael

I had the most magical morning photographing Ariel & Michael for their engagement session. They're so fun to be around, partly because they have so much fun together! I just loved seeing the affection they clearly have for each other. After some time in the sun at Oak Street beach, we made our way to Peoria street in the West loop to create a little photographic nod to the town where they met... and do some handstands!

I can't wait for their October wedding at the MCA!

Stunning, Emily! I love the way you used the light, especially at the beach... it creates such a wonderfully dreamy and romantic setting!

Em--I keep wishing I could do my wedding over again so I could have you do the photography. :-)

Seriously, though, these photos are amazing. You are GIFTED!!!
