I’m pretty sure Matt would do anything to make Greer happy. Whether he’s sheltering her from the cold, blowing on dandelion seeds, or just trying to make her laugh, he’s all in. And for this couple – athletic, smart, and just plain nice – you know that that dedication is going to create the kind…
When Ashley decided to move across the country to chilly Chicago, Eric knew what he had to do. For Ashley, for this beautiful, intelligent, fun woman with the most beautiful smile, he would move across the country. No problem. He would take care of her and be there for her, and help her achieve all…
Kam and I love learning new things, and so when the opportunity came up to learn some exciting fashion photography and lighting techniques from the amazing Lindsay Adler, we jumped. We had so much fun shooting and learning, and now are eager to shoot more in the studio! Jane and Erin rocked it out on…
Amanda is the kind of woman who is wise beyond her years. The kind of girl who knows what she wants and can take care of herself. I’m so excited a few of our images from Amanda’s glamour session. Amanda wanted a retro glam vibe, and hair and makeup stylist Ammo Vazquez rocked out her…
Kevin and Shannon are the kind of couple you love to hang around with. Bursting with energy and enthusiasm, full of creative ideas, easy-going, and quick to smile. Both adventurers, they love to travel and explore, and are not afraid of anything. On top of all that, they are full of jokes and stories that…
Oh my goodness!! These are gorgeous!! Love you Shannie and can’t wait until August
Love that night time shot!
For an hour and a half she sat quietly, pleasantly chatting as Jenny fussed over her. A little rouge, a little eyeshadow, a little teasing of the hair. We talked about life – our homes, our guys, our dreams - you know. This woman, who came from halfway around the world to become one of the…
Oh Jenny and Eric. What can I say? You two are the best kind of people. Charming and open-hearted, enthusiastic and giving. You deserve all the happiness that the world has to offer – because without knowing it, you give that happiness to everybody around you. And your love for each other? You make our…
uh mazing!
Oh. My. God. How are you guys so freaking good? You are killing it!
Beautiful story, you did it again! Love the yellow and gray contrasts, very unique.
Beautiful photos!
Beautiful pics/beautiful couple! Wish we could have been there to share your day.
hands down the most beautiful and entertaining wedding I have ever been to…. dancing with the White Sox mascot Southpaw will be hard to beat!
Congratulations to cousin Eric and to his lovely bride JennY!
Beautiful Bride…Handsome Groom! It was a wonderful wedding…Thank you for letting us share your special day!
Like everybody else on the planet, we absolutely love soaking in the gorgeousness of Style Me Pretty every day. We love the inspiration and ideas, and the ability to search through lots and lots of photos! So we are super excited to announce that we are the newest members of SMP’s Little Black Book. We…
I love getting stuff in the mail. I especially love getting stuff from our couples, and it always makes me smile when I open up the beautiful, creative, wedding pieces that our clients create. I recently received this save-the-date from Megan and Niko, and I just could not believe how cute and creative it was….
Such a cute save the date!
“I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being,” ~Hafiz I heard this quote the other day, and it just hit home. Just that simple phrase, “the astonishing light of your own being” sends chills up my spine. Yes, exactly – the astonishing light….
Love love love this. I need to remember this as well. xoxo
Today I have Part 2 of the images from my Vintage Glamour Photoshoot in Vegas. (See Part 1 here) I just loved shooting this vintage glamour look so much, I’m dying to do more of it. The styling by RENEE DELSIGNE and hair and makeup by AMELIA CLINE-COOPER, are just so perfect. My thanks to VICTOR SIZEMORE for…
LOVE
Oh. My. God. These are incredible!
I’m so excited to share the first of two posts from the photoshoot I did in Vegas when we were there for WPPI. I participated in a glamour/boudoir shoot organized by Victor Sizemore at an incredible penthouse suite at The Palms. My jaw absolutely dropped when I saw the beautiful hair and makeup by Amelia Cline-Cooper,…
ahhhh gorgeous gorgeous! love that head piece! but more importantly, your header images are A-DOR-A-BLE! ahhhh
la la love that first photo!
I stood at the end of the security line, right at the edge where the TSA agent would come every so often to ask us to back up. I didn’t know if I’d see him, or if he’d turn around to see me, but I waited just in case. I hoped for one last glimpse,…
This has me choked up! 
I don’t know what I’d do if James left for 2 weeks… we are the same as you two – together constantly, living, working… day to day! He’ll be home before you know it and life will be even sweeter than normal because of his previous absence. xoxo
Gah, I feel you on this one! I’m a pretty independent traveler, but after a few days I just want to be back home with my love. I’m sure he will be missing you just as much as you are missing him…and it will be that much sweeter when he returns! 
Hey Baby, I just saw this lovely post. Even though I am with my family and friends here, I think of you all the time. I am counting the days until I return to you. I miss you so much. Love you.
so cute , love it.
Last week while we were in Vegas for WPPI, Kamran and I had the opportunity to participate in a couple awesome photoshoots. It was so amazing to shoot in an area that is so different from what we’re used to, and the beautiful scenery and awesome light in the desert felt like I giant playground….
WOW! Just stunning! BEautiful work you two!
Last week Kamran and I made our way to Las Vegas to attend WPPI – one of the country’s biggest conferences for wedding and portrait photographers. After attending last year, we had high expectations. This year, we were hoping the conference would be just as inspiring, but we didn’t know if that was even possible!…
I can’t wait to hear all about it!
Chris’s father lives in Las Vegas, and we’ve been there together twice. Those are the only two times I have been truly west of the Mississippi in the lower 48, and each time I am stunned by the radically different landscape. I can’t wait to see the pictures you took!
A couple months ago I dragged Kamran to see “Anna Karenina” with me. The previews promised a visual feast – something lavish and beautiful, with costumes to die for. And boy did it deliver. While Kamran endured 2+ hours of being the only gentleman in the theater, I soaked up the colors, lights, and, well,…
Love the close up one where she’s looking down and to the right! Amazing.
OMG…..these are so strikingly beautiful! You guys are killing it!
Stunning!
Thanks again Ann for including me in this project—I really do love all the photos—totally worth braving the cold:-)
These are fabulous photos!
Thank you, Erin, for all your work! We always have a great time shooting with you!
Amanda and Matt love to travel. And even though Matt grew up around the world and met while working in DC, they both shared ties in the Chicago area. So when they returned to the chilly Midwest for some wedding planning, we managed to squeeze in an engagement shoot downtown. Let me tell you, there…
Love how happy they are!
So sweet! I love them.
These are beautiful pictures and a beautiful couple.
You guys look so good!!! Amazing pictures
Nice pictures guys!
We have been talking to a lot of new couples lately, and are having so much fun hearing new how-you-met stories and awesome wedding plans. My heart always goes out to newly engaged couples trying to navigate their way through wedding planning – I know how overwhelming it is to plan an event the size…
Thank you for sharing, Ann. I was just trying to explain this exact idea to someone recently, but your post says it all – and says it a lot more eloquently! The reasons you listed are the exact reasons why Jon and I picked you and Kam to shoot our wedding!
Thanks, Katie! I’m so happy it resonated with you! Also, I adore your profile photo. I think maybe you need one in your wedding clothes.
YES! Love this!
I saw this and immediately vowed to take more behind-the-scenes photos this year. Kam and I are notorious for not having photos of ourselves, but it’s time to change that. Amanda and Matt braved the cold for their Chicago Engagement shoot yesterday, and at one point I turned around and there was Kam, looking down…
If you’re looking for a perfect spot for your fall wedding (or any season, really), check out Independence Grove. Its extensive trail system is ideal for enjoying fall colors, the Audobon Hall is beautiful, and the staff is excellent. I’ve been reminiscing about the fall lately, and Amanda and Brad’s wedding at Independence Grove was…
We don’t talk about it much, but the last few years of our lives have been punctuated by our regular contacts with the US immigration system. It’s mostly a lot of waiting – waiting to apply, waiting for the next date, waiting for a response, waiting for the next application. It’s expensive and endlessly frustrating….
There’s always a moment. That split second on your wedding day when your mom or dad looks at you with that look. You might not even catch it. It’s the look that contains an entire lifetime of memories starting the moment you came into the world. That look that’s full of happiness and pride to see…
Oh Ann! These moments are so precious, and you’ve captured them so beautifully.
Oh my, I’m so excited to finally share Lindsay and Andrew’s Short Film with you all today! We loved the stories that their friends and families told so much that we (meaning Kamran!) worked extra hard to incorporate them into this film. I can’t wait for you to see the result! Presenting: Lindsay and Andrew…
loved it, sooooo beautiful, so in love.
Every year, my family takes a vacation together. We’ve done this as long as I can remember, from car trips to Tennessee to our more recent exotic travels to the Caribbean. It’s always amazed me how well we get along together – though we’re all pretty easy-going and dedicated swimmers, readers, and drinkers. Really, the…
Whoa that looks amazing!
Excellente Anno (& Kam)! Loved the 1st sunset picture you can feel the action of the H20! Did you see the H20 “splashes or drops” in the left corner? You’re still pictures of.
Hunt’s Garden? really captured the aura! I LOVE the cave picture it reminds me of you guys as kids just awesome! You caught the aqua color of the water and love the red umbrella and Palm trees. Love the rugged North Shore. Was that the window in your room? Cool.. Great Sunset at the end also, you feel pulled into it. Now I can keep reliving the week esp. with this Ugg freezing ice and rain in WI! Thank You! Love Mom
Glad you liked the water droplets – I was trying to decide if I should take them out! The window was in the stairway as you walked down to the beach!
Oh yea! Of course I liked the one of Rob and Maggie walking also. And all the rest.
Cheryl just said “you really have an eye for photography” .
So glad you guys loved Barbados! It is an AMAZING place! The photos are spectacular (as always). I loved the north coast – think it was my favorite place. Although the sunsets could not be beat.
And you catch sunsets better than anyone I know!
Just beautiful.
Hi Everybody! Today is the day when we will finally announce the winner of the Favorite Wedding of 2012 Contest! First of all, thank you to everybody who voted! One of the things that we love about our couples is meeting the amazing friends and family members who support them, and it’s awesome to see…
Holy Moly I am soooo excited to share this post with you!! Robert and Maggie are ENGAGED!!!!! Ok, let me step back a little bit. Robert is my little brother (my 6-foot-2 little brother), and Maggie has basically been a member of our family since they met forever ago. We have been quietly hoping that…

Today’s featured venue is one of Chicago’s most stylish, sophisticated Gold Coast/Old Town Hotels – the Public Hotel. This hotel has a number of features that make it a perfect destination for classy, intimate weddings, including the stunning rooftop view, the beautiful lobby and Pump Room, and catering that any foodie would die for….
beautiful work!
We’ve got something fun today! We’ve never done this before, but I’m super excited! We are happy to announce the first-ever Ann & Kam Favorite Engagement Session contest! (We’ll be doing a wedding contest next week, so stay tuned.) We’ve included links for each of our engagement session from 2012, and it’s your job to…
Today’s featured venue is actually located in Milwaukee, and is certainly one of the most unique venues we’ve ever shot at. The Pritzlaff Building is a historic building located near Milwaukee’s Third Ward. Constructed in 1875, the Pritzlaff was originally home to one of the midwest’s largest hardware companies and is now available as an…
Some days it all just gets to be too much. The phone calls, the worrying, the things you need to do and the things you want to do, the little letdowns and the big stressors. Sometimes. Well, sometimes you just need a reminder:
It’s that time of year where we’re making plans and setting goals, and business is on our minds. As I suspect many of you may be small-business owners, may be considering becoming one, or just might be interested in hearing about our approach to our business, I’m hoping to blog more about business this year….
Bahahaha love the post and the picture tie-in!
A few months ago, Kamran and I had the distinct pleasure of being photographed by Jeff Shipley when we were visiting Portland. I was recently reminded that we never shared the images from the shoot, so I thought this would be a great time to do so. Thank you so much to Jeff Shipley for…
You are so beautiful! I love these 
:*
Thanks, Emilia!
Seriously – this are just stunning! LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Last week we kicked off our series of some of our favorite wedding venues from 2012 with Germania Place. Today, we’re taking you to the heart of downtown to another historic Chicago location. The Chicago Club is located right on Michigan Avenue, across from Grant Park and all of the beauty and photographic opportunities that…
I lay on a green mat, staring at the ceiling and furiously kicking my legs. ”One more minute,” says James, who looms over me, a tower of muscles. My legs burn with discomfort, and I think that killing myself one flutter kick at a time was not really what I had planned when I joined…
Their guests flew in from all over the world to be in Chicago on the fifth day of 2013. Just fifty people in total, to bear witness to the union of two. Daniel and Marilia are two quiet and graceful souls who draw the world in to them, and who seem to create an entire…
Ann I think this may be my favorite of your weddings this year. This wedding is STUNNING and makes me so excited to shoot at the Peninsula in May! But seriously WOW so gorgeous! <3
A few years ago, during a cold January just like this, I met a young man at a concert. We were both there as part of one big group of old and new friends, trying to warm ourselves up with the Caribbean-Indian tunes of local band, Funkadesi. This particular young man just happened to be…
We met up with Daniel and Marilia recently on a cold afternoon for an engagement session just days before their wedding. Daniel kept Marilia from thinking about the chilly air, and we all took a moment to relax and breathe in the chaos of pre-wedding preparations. A cosmopolitan couple, Daniel and Marilia came to the…
Your black and whites are totally gorgeous!
As we wrap up 2012 and start looking forward to 2013, Kamran and I are so grateful to be able to do what we do. We are so lucky to meet such amazing people at the best time in their lives, and to do it all in such a fabulous city. We’ve been looking through…
So so SO pretty! Love this.
I can’t believe it, it’s 2013. I swear it was just August 2012 yesterday. But, here we are, with one more fabulous winter wedding coming up and then a couple months of “off season”. Crazy! I’ve never been one to make New Years Resolutions. In fact, I’m not really a list person. But if…
Years ago, when Beth and Jarrett were just starting to get to know each other, Jarrett found a perfect set of pearls while he was working in India. He and Beth were physically far apart, but he had a feeling. For two years he held on to those pearls, waiting for this day, the day…
Everything, just gorgeous! And that last one, I am totally dying over! <3
That panama, Voucher!
Beautiful , beautiful memories of 12-30-12 Jarrett and Beth’s wedding.

Beautiful Pictures! We are so happy for you and pray that you will be used greatly by God and be a great testimony for Him!
Love the pictures!
Ashley and Mike just knew. They knew they wanted to be together, and they knew they wanted Forever. And when the time was right, they knew that too. When Mike deployed with the Marines, they had said their vows, prepared for nine long months apart before they could be together forever. When I first spoke…
Gosh, I love these! Especially that first one!
Love them all but picture number two is sexy!
These are beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! Now what’s this rumour I am hearing about THE WEST COAST?????????? I Will Not Be Happy if so-called rumour is true. I Will be very, very, very sad:(
So you’ve just said yes! Congratulations! You’ve got months of fun parties, planning, and shopping ahead of you, but what should you do first? Here are some fun ideas: 1. Take a Moment and Just Enjoy It Seriously, there’s no need to rush to pinterest right away. Give yourself and your new fiance some time…
Recently, Kam and I were talking with a certain family member who shall remain nameless, about the possibility of finally proposing to his girlfriend. And after a little banter about buying rings and photography and such, we were surprised by an explosion of “OMG I’m just dreading planning the wedding!” I have to admit that…
Love this! Such great tips… Especially taking a break from it now and then!
You got an expolsion form THAT nameless family member? I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to witness that.
Haha. Just don’t make a big deal out of it, otherwise we might jinx it!
If anything little goes wrong, it makes great stories later. People love hearing about how you adapt and improvise.
So, you have your shiny new engagement ring, it’s time to take a photo so you can share it with your friends and family. After our fun post about engagement rings yesterday, I thought it might be a good time to talk about how you can take a fabulous ring shot at home with a…
Your Engagement Ring Style: What Your Engagement Ring Says About You Every engagement ring is unique, and each one says something about the woman wearing it. When Kam and I picked out my ring, I knew exactly what I wanted and we looked high and low until we found it. But we love the variety…
I’m definitely a vintage girl.
I like Diamond Jewellery because it is cool.

There was a moment when it clicked. A moment when all the planning and thinking faded away, the nerves disappeared, and the excitement set in. At that moment, kneeling on the stage, her friends and family behind her, Lea turned to Lovell and smiled. A smile just for Lovell. The biggest, brightest, happiest, “we’re really…
Lea & Lovell – You are the most perfect couple! Your wedding was absolutely perfect!

Oh boy, we have been waiting to debut Anmarie and Tim’s ever since we met Anmarie for the first time last spring. These two are so full of life and so giving, and it just shines through everything they do. We couldn’t be more excited to feature their wedding film for the first time today!…
AAAAAAAMAZING!
Beautiful! You really captured “the moments” Congratulations!
It is time for another edition of Engagement Session Style – What to Wear for your Engagement Session! With the holidays fast approaching and a nip in the air, I thought it was time for a Winter Edition of our style series for those of you who have winter engagement sessions coming up. At first…
It’s Friday, and though we have a busy weekend of shooting ahead of us, I am feeling the Friday glow! We are still busy with editing and catching up on the kinds of things that we tend to put off (i.e. accounting), but we have created a little space for new obsessions to creep in….
OMG the suit pajamas!
We are obsessed with the Brita. We have two…one pitcher and one fridge container with a spigot. We even use it for cooking water and filling the animals’ water dishes.
Having a water pitcher makes such a huge difference! Speaking of which – we need to get a new filter because it’s filtering so slowly it isn’t keeping up with our water intake! That’s a good problem to have – yes? Here’s to healthier living! xo
Don’t tell Kam, but I’m going through some baby withdrawal! Last weekend I flew out to L.A. with my Mom and two of my aunts for a little girl time and some baby time with a couple of cuties. I could just chase these two around with my camera forever!
OMG those kids are so cute. And that baby’s eyes! SO precious.
As huge sports fans, Christine and McNeil knew what they wanted to do right away. Christine and McNeil obviously support each other, challenge each other, and have a great time together. We loved getting the chance to just hang around and fun with this great couple as we created their Engagement Video, and are sooo…
So cute! They seem like such a fun couple!
Ah! The lights on navy pier look SO pretty in video So fun!
Source: Uploaded by user via Ann & Kam Photography & Cinema on Pinterest Once upon a time, starting big, crazy, things seemed easy. When I was in college, it only took me a few minutes to decide to fly off to a foreign country where I didn’t speak the language or know anything about…
LOVE IT. Can’t wait to see what you two are up to!
“…the process of beginning is never-ending.” So true. Love love it!
Apparently, no matter how old I am, there are some things that just make me feel safe and comfortable. When I started to get a little stomach ache last weekend, my first thought was, “Kamran, I need you to go to the grocery store and get me some Mrs. Grass’s soup. STAT!” Ok, maybe I…
I totally missed the whole hospital thing but I am so glad you are OK! And I LOVE that picture of you guys! Hopefully I’ll see you both on the 17th!
We’ll be there! Can’t wait!
I’m glad the Oleinik remedies worked. Good thing you didn’t have a cough. It would have been Ginger Brandy (also known as liquid fire) to the rescue.
Ahhhh, so glad you are better! And thank goodness for Mrs. Grass and amazing spouses!
My oh my, we are so super-duper excited to share Nika and Brett’s Short Film with you today! You probably remember these two from their beautiful downtown wedding and super cute engagement session. Today, we have the video that brings it all together. Nika and Brett are two such wonderful, loving, people, and we were…
SO cute. I am seriously so blown away by what you guys are doing with video. Very impressive!
Every time you post something new I get more happy and excited about my own wedding! You guys are awesome, and I love the video!
Oh Christy, that’s the nicest thing you could possibly say. You totally made my day! We are so excited for your wedding, too, I wish it would get here faster!!
If you know the story of how Kam and I got engaged and married, you know that it all happened pretty quickly. To make a long story short, we basically decided to get married, and then realized we had to get engaged in the meantime. We didn’t exactly spend a lot of time ring…
lovely!
Wow! Beautiful Ann and Kam!
Some women just have it all. Smart, beautiful, soulful, with a loving family and a guy who knows how to make her smile and make her think. Fay is that kind of woman, and her deep love of family and tradition were just as evident as her beautiful smile, gorgeous dress, and handsome husband on…
Beautiful
Gorgeous!
Beautiful pics!
Beautiful!
Thanks sis!
Gorgeous shots! Yia is here looking with me and she loved them also. You looked absolutely beautiful. We’ve heard many wonderful things about the evening. Congrats again!
I don’t know if it’s the time change or the waning of the traditional “wedding season”, but I feel like there has been a major shift during the last week. Ok, ok, if I’m honest, I’ll also admit that fretting over the election occupied a *tiny* part of my mind for the past month, so…
Love this picture.
I’m most definitely looking forward to the off season. And falling asleep at 4pm.
They met in paradise. Blue skies, the glittering Caribbean, and a smile he couldn’t get out of his mind. For two years, he held on to that smile, waiting for the day when he could wrap his arms around her whenever he wanted. And then, one day, Beth was surprised to find that the rest…
What a perfect fall engagement session! I love the leaves & the shadow photo!
I’m obsessed with the first vertical on the right side and the second to last photo!
These pictures have captured your playfulness, your fun, your joy, and your love that you have for each other! Beautiful photography~Beautiful Couple!
Simply Beautiful!
These pictures are fantastic! I can see why you had so much fun taking them. It’s hard to decide which one I like best, but do have a couple of favorites! Could you two be anymore photogenic?
These pictures are amazing…..absolutely amazing! They capture your personalities and playfulness beautifully. So great!
You two are so cute together! Congrats Jarrett!! Glad that you found that special someone to hold on to!!
Oh this is so perfectly fall. Awesome job. I love the shot of their shadows. Very creative.
Abigail wanted to say, “Good Luck! Have a happy wedding!”
Bottom line, you guys are doing amazing things! LOVE it!
The story of your proposal will be one that you will tell over and over. It’s not only a way to show your partner how much you love him or her, but it is the first chapter in the story of your life together. We are so excited to offer Proposal Photography and Videography packages…
She is elegance defined. From her good taste, to her intelligence, her soft voice to her worldly soul, Rachel is, simply, classy. And as a woman of taste, not just any groom would do. Fortunately, Mike is not just any groom. He is the kind of man with the sensibility to run a company and…
Rachel Robbins Clue amazing photos! Simply elegant! Every detail was just stunning! Congrats again to you and Mike!
Stunning work & beautiful wedding! I love the Public Hotel! Such a gorgeous space!
Christina and Mike met up with Kamran and I on one of the most beautiful fall days of the year for a few engagement photos in Hyde Park. The gorgeous leaves, warm sunshine, and serene setting made for a perfect fall afternoon. I can already imagine that their wedding day next fall will be such…
I THINK THEY LOOK NICE NOW FOR THE CAPTION “THESE TWO CLOWNS ARE GETTING MARRIED”.
Great Pictures! Happy Couple
They fell in love among the shops, cafes, bars, and busy-ness of Chicago. The world buzzed, but when they were together, it was as if they were the only ones. Mark is cool, laid-back, but Allison looks at him with those eyes that are like windows to the whole universe. Yeah, even at his…
Love the first picture!
Very nice!
Love these! How do you make a decision? They are all wonderful!
Hope you get a good price on the whole bundle…fantastic!
Some days, things just don’t go the way you expect them to. Even on your wedding day. You know, it rains (ironically), the limo drives off with your dress, or your reception venue loses power. Yeah, it happens. The thing is, you can decide how you react to all of the million little stressors that…
so gorgeous
Stunning photo and SO TRUE. Too many people get wrapped up in all the drama of the day instead of just ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE. Thanks for the reminder! And GORGEOUS photo! Where is that?
Yeah, now and then you find out that your photos were the last photos of a family member, and it really puts some of the other stuff in perspective. The photo is from Park Falls, WI, from our visit a few weeks ago. It looks like total serenity to me
We couldn’t escape it – the forecast called for rain, and for once, the weatherman was right. After weighing a few options, we decided to meet at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. I was hoping that the rain would hold off for a couple hours, but as we watched the rain fall on the pond,…
These are stunning, Ann. Wow.
Great pictures…adorable couple…I can’t wait until the wedding!
Ann and Kam, these pictures are amazing! Thank you so much for a wonderful session – we can’t wait until the wedding!
katie and jon: these are terrific pictures! I don’t think I could choose “just one.” You both are so blessed to have each other — and it shows!
You two are awesome, Katie! We had so much fun, too, and are so excited for your wedding! Yay!
Lovely pictures capturing all the love and happiness of a great couple.
Awesome pictures you two….glad I don’t have to choose..I’d want them all!
I love the shots with the butterfly! So awesome. The whole session is beautiful!
Lovely pictures!
They are beautiful pictures. I remember Katie when she was in Craig & Jen’s wedding. Such a sweet person!
These are really great! Love them!
As the room buzzed around her, Amanda was calm. She was ready. She put her earrings on, and waited as mom helped her into her dress. Next her necklace, and finally her beloved boots. And just like that, it was time to go. Brad was relaxed, ready to enjoy the day. He laughed with his…
Looove that first dress detail picture!
these pictures are amazing!
Simply beautiful!
Gorgeous! Love that last dancing shot especially… so sweet!
SOOOO good Can’t wait to see more!
They met in New York. The City, the buildings, the history, the layers of past and present forming a backdrop for their own love story. Because Robert, well he would pretty much do anything to make Dawn happy. When she worries, he makes her laugh, when she dreams, he helps her make it happen, and…

I am looking through our wedding photos, and I can’t help but notice how ridiculously happy we were that day. Just grinning from ear to ear, all day.

It was a day filled with quiet moments and personal touches. They created a wedding that was perfectly them, focused on the meaning of the day for what it truly was. As they described on the their wedding website, the theme of their wedding was, well, “marriage”. Simple and perfect. Getting Ready: The Wit Venue: Joffrey…
Standing at the entrance of the Drake Hotel, Carrie was a little nervous. She could feel a slight chill as the door opened on the October day, and she stepped a little farther inside. Waiting. Ben stood outside, under trees just starting to turn yellow. Ready for the day to start, for her to arrive,…

Truly a fairy tale wedding! Picture perfect!

Whoever thought up the phrase “she lights up a room” must have been thinking of Anmarie. But really, Anmarie could light up an entire city block. She simply radiates energy, and it is obvious that those around her feel lifted by her generous spirit. And Tim, well, Tim might just be the nicest guy ever….

There is just something about Sara. How when she looks at you with those deep eyes, you just want to gasp a little. But really, when Brett’s around, she just lights up. He knows how to make her laugh, knows how to make her happy, knows the smile that she saves just for him. These…

It was a setup. One of their friends thought they should meet, and it was, well, a little awkward. But… A few months later Jenny left to study abroad, and Eric was left at home. And at some point, he realized that he didn’t want to be left at home again. So when Jenny returned,…
I love the balloons. I love her blazer. I love that grassy field. And I love these photos!
Love the field and grass, her blazer, everything! Gah gorgeous.
I have to admit that I haven’t really been excited about fall this year. Don’t get me wrong, I think the weather in the fall is the best of the year, and I love the romance of being able to cuddle up under a warm blanket… but I keep thinking that winter is just around…
I’m so glad you got away!
wow
This is just so stunning Ann! We had some quiet time in Wisconsin this weekend too and it is truly amazing what nature does for the soul! So glad you got some time away. And you and me both, friend… I’m obsessed with sunsets! Have been my whole life! <3 <3
Wow! Those shots are gorgeous! You never know how much you need time away until you actually take it! I’m so glad you did! I hope I get to see you guys soon!
The magical thing about living in a place like Chicago, is that there are an almost infinite number of ways to discover the City itself. A million perspectives, a million sides to her multifaceted character. Or maybe it’s just me, awed and surprised every time I drive down Lake Shore Drive, inspired whenever I…
A few years ago I walked into Jon DeVries’s office at Roosevelt University and took a seat. I wasn’t really sure what I was doing there, but Kamran had urged me to come talk to him. Kam had already started the MBA program at Roosevelt a year earlier, and I was envious of his interesting…
She walked through the door, and the house was buzzing. Bridesmaids, family members, babies, and friends gathered to finish their final preparations and see Liz off as she became a bride.
