The day was blustery, overcast, smoggy and UBER cold in downtown Chicago...but that definitely didn't stop Audrey and Aaron from struttin' their stuff! If you know Audrey (or even sneak and peak at some of these photos) you can tell that she is hilarious, fun, outgoing and madly in love with Aaron (because he can make her laugh about ANYTHING...and I mean anything, which is sooo endearing!) They are counting down the minutes until they tie the knot near Chicago in July and I am THRILLED for them.
Ya know when you just look at two people and just KNOW they should be together...well, that is how I feel about Audrey and Aaron. :)

I couldn't have been more excited to hang out with Pam and Olin for the morning to shoot their engagement session---not only are these two extremely fun to be around but every time I am with them I walk away with a smile on my face for the time we have spent together. They braved the -12 degree temperatures to share their love in front of the camera and we didn't even have any snot-scicles when we were done! :)
And apparently we ran into "owlie-eyed-Joe" too......OLIN cracks me up! :)
OH---And the thing I am *most* excited for (besides the beautiful bride and charming groom) is the fact that they plan to have a handful of old cars around since it is one of Olin's hobbies. He happened to find this old steering wheel in his garage and it will be used for a car that they are going to fix up and drive as their "get-away" car on the big day.......cute eh?
My *fave* from the day.....don't you just love their love for each other!?!?! :)
Pam found this old-school Toboggan in her parent's garage that WE HAD TO USE! :) I am not sure we used it right, but it made for some super funny moments and even better photos!!!
Pam and Olin, your wedding is something I am soooo looking forward to this summer---it will be the most rad September wedding EVER and I am honored to be a part of it! :) I am counting down those days right along with you!!! :)

Two of the raddest and most fun-loving people are right here folks...Krystle and Brian! They are in love and planning their gorgeous October wedding and I am STOKED to be a part of it! :) If you can't already tell, they are funny, outgoing and so perfectly made for each other!!! We spent a snowy afternoon trekking through Hudson and some surrounding groves of trees to find some of the most perfect spots for their photos......and ended the session with some sledding which yielded to wet and snowy clothes from, more or less, tumbling down the hill rather than racing on the sled....oops!
Disclaimer: This is the BEST engagement session on the face of the earth. Promise!

And I couldn't get over how cute Krystle's coat choices were---if only I could look that cute in PLAID! I can promise you that I don't! :)
Off to the sledding hill.........
Gosh, you guys.....you couldn't have made me any more excited for your amazing wedding in October---I honestly can't wait! From the fun we had sledding I KNOW that we are guaranteed a good time at the wedding full of laughs and surprises! Merry Christmas Krystle and Brian!!!!!!

The morning after the biggest snow storm since last year Carly and Scott decided to brave the -25 degree weather to share their morning and their love story with me! :) Gosh, are they great!!!!! Our noses only froze tiny snot-scicles so it wasn't that bad and we strategically jumped inside to outside to make sure our fingers stayed in tack while shooting.......
Carly and Scott are madly in love and HONESTLY know how to have a fun time together laughing the day away (if you can't tell from the photos).......

OK OK....I have to say that this was one of the more funny moments I have ever had with a couple. I asked them if they would want to do the "breath-really-hard-to-make-as-much-cold-air-come-out-as-possible" and fog the air up......they happily obliged and this is what we got......I find their expressions absolutely HILARIOUS! :)
And of course they had to include their favorite member of their family....RIO! The young, energetic and totally cute German Shepherd..........
Carly and Scott, I wish you the BEST and most happiest day in JUNE and wish I could be there to photograph! You will be gorgeous and it will be the best party this side of the St. Croix river.........I JUST KNOW IT! :)

Kristin and Matt are *madly* in love and anxiously awaiting their June 2010 wedding! And to be honest, I can't wait either because these two are not only outgoing and completely fun to be around but they are real and genuine people who can truly laugh together! :)
Aweeeeee!!! :)
Kristin brought these awesome bright pink/black wellies and I made her put them on! :) AND she hinted at me that this bright pink is also the color of her wedding shoes! *SCORE!*
My morning with Kristin and Matt was RAD as we explored, chatted about wedding plans and laughed A LOT! :) You guys, I soooo can't wait until next June!!! :)
