Sexy on the Beach

H & J had a FABULOUS wedding at the Paradisus Palma Real resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Once I saw the resort at night, I just knew we had to get some creative night shots. What I didn't know was how sexy H & J would be at the end of the night!! Yummmmmay.













Special thanks to Corey Ann who was my human light stand and reflector for some of these shots!

Cara & Sean Engagement

Even though Cara & Sean will be getting married in Bloomington, IN; Chicago is the city they call home and where we got to spend some time enjoying the scenery for their engagement photos. We started off at the Conservatory near Lincoln Park and much to my surprise, Sean is quite the horticulturalist! I could just see him quietly cataloging different plants he might use in a future garden project.







Along our stroll to the beach, I spotted this hill of overgrown grass next to the canal. This and the first image are my favorites from the day! You know, guys almost always take a little more to warm up during engagement photos - but don't they look great when they smile?!


Yummay... leading lines and vanishing points....


This one may be a wee bit too obscure, but that's what I like about it. I think more DoF would have made my intent stronger, but it would have taken longer to find the ring.










Last but not least, a different view of the Chicago skyline..
