phew, this post has taken way longer than i thought because there were SO MANY GOOD PICTURES! we hung out with vanessa and ben at the spring valley nature center in schaumburg. this is definitely one of the most epic locations we’ve shot at and we were loving every second! and even though the wind tried to blow us to the next state and we got caught in a crazy thunderstorm and had to duck for cover in a barn, vanessa and ben rocked it out. can’t wait for their wedding in may!
i think it would be funny to note that vanessa was the only one of us not wearing plaid that day. hehe.


um, vanessa you’re gorgeous. k?








are you kidding me?! this shot makes my heart melt every time.








vanessa, if your shoes go missing – it’s because i stole them.








don’t forget the awesome slideshow!

Brandi - What a cute couple. I love all their smiles.
Nancy - Gina and Tony I love the pop of red color in the pictures. The baloons were a great addition to the photos I especially like the one were the couple is reflected in the silver heart. The second, fourth and sixth picture should be in a magazine. I love the videos. You always seem to match the songs with the slide show so wonderfully. Great work! Especially when you always have great couples.
OHANA PHOTOGRAPHERS - beautiful beautiful couple! love love love b&w 2nd to last shot!
Sylvia Borgo - how cute are they? really? how cute? love the feel of this session. I love their style (she has great taste in shoes!) and I love, love the image of them walking across the field.
