What a windy day it was when we met Katie & Corey for their engagement shoot outside of Chicago. Usually we hope for a nice calm day, but thank goodness for that wind–it blew all the grey clouds from earlier that morning away, which left us with a very pleasant, sunny afternoon.

Katie & Corey are such an awesome match, and we loved their low-key, happy attitude. Together they are so expressive, and communicate their happiness so openly, that we really could have shot them anywhere, or in any weather, and they still would have seemed bright and full of warmth. Thanks for spending the afternoon with us you two! We’re so looking forward to your wedding later this year! Enjoy!

Sometimes we get the total honor, and pleasure, of shooting other artists. Not only are Whitney & Marcellos amazing people, they are also amazing photographers. We’ve been admiring their work for quite a while now, and we can’t emphasize how excited we were about the opportunity to get them in front of our cameras. They are both such wonderfully creative people and talented artists, and their work has consistently inspired us to be more creative ourselves. Do yourself a favor and go check out their awesome work when you get a chance.

Seriously, Whitney & Marcellos, you guys are the best! You guys made this session so much fun–thank you so much again!

Happy New Year everyone! We’re back with our first wedding post of the new year. Hooray!!

For this one, the playfulness of Catherine and Eric in these images really speaks for itself. They have such a unique, wonderful and fun chemistry with one another, and it is so much fun to be around. We had an awesome time with them throughout this day, and we were so excited that they trusted our creative vision.

You guys really are awesome! We can’t wait to go rummaging around antique stores with you again sometime soon. Congrats, and enjoy!

2011 has been such an exciting year and we feel so very thankful. We met and befriended so many awesome couples, traveled to Rhode Island for the first time (images to come soon!) and Derren survived his first tick bite all in the name of wedding photography. As we look back upon the many adventures we shared, we want to thank our couples for being so thoughtful and generous, for trusting our creative vision, and for helping us love what we do more and more. We couldn’t do this without you – thank you, friends!

As a farewell to 2011, we chose 11 of our images that really stuck with us to share one more time here on the blog. We hope you enjoy! –Lisa & Derren–
