Anyone who knows me knows I love to laugh.  My laugh is loud and slightly obnoxious…but there are certain things in life you just can’t help.  If I had to sum up Rachel and Elliot’s engagement session in one word it would be…laughter.  I swear I never stopped laughing.  They are SO much fun and incredibly hilarious.  Or maybe I was making a complete fool out of myself and thus they were actually laughing at me…either way…I had a blast.

Rachel chose the iconic Michigan Avenue as their location…and it was perfect.  Their session reminded me how much I love Chicago and how lucky I am to call this my home.  Blog world…meet Rachel and Elliot…and the beautiful city of Chicago.

 

BAM!  Love that look!

Oh Chicago…how I <3 you….

Rachel…you are stunning!

Thank you to the nice man who let us take pictures in his carriage.  🙂

Ice cream?  Yes please…

Love these 🙂

Yeah…they’re cool like that and got in the water in their fancy clothes.  Love them.

 

Rachel and Elliot…thank you so much for such a fun “Chicago” day.  You guys are awesome!!!

 

Sometimes we get the chance to write our own love story.  Sometimes we get to take a giant leap of faith with the person we know deep down inside we can’t live without.  And sometimes…it all just falls perfectly in place.  In just 3 short weeks, Joänna and Ben are getting married.  And not only are they getting married…they are moving half way across the country to start a new adventure together.  I know without a doubt in my mind that their love story is going to be a long, beautiful, enduring one.  And I can’t wait to be there at the start of it all.

 

For now…here’s some engagement goodness…

 

Gah!  So cute!  🙂

 

Can we say model?

 

Love.

 

I get chills when I look at this one.  She has the look down!

Sassy. 🙂

 

Joänna and Ben…I cannot wait for your wedding!!!   See you in a few weeks!

 

I have such a special place in my heart for these two.  I had only met them over email until our e-session and meeting them in person reassured everything I already thought I knew.  They are the cutest, most sincere, genuinely in love…and may I add brilliant…couple.  It’s impossible to be around them without a huge grin plastered on your face.  I have so much more to say on these two but for now…feast your eyes on the amazing fierceness of Joanna.  Does this girl have the look down or what??

 

 

Have a great Sunday!!
