Jessica + John are a pretty good example of when I meet with clients and I just know right away that we are going to get along… they are laid back and fun and emotional and into music and a little off beat… my kind of people!  I met Jessica first at the Moonrise Hotel in the Loop…

lovely letterpress

I love these quiet portraits of Jess

Batman cufflinks!

a phone call from Mom with an update on a shared television show obsession

John, you look nervous, my friend.

tears to laughter in 5 seconds flat

gorgeous loose bridal bouquet by Wildflowers

gotta love a wedding party that follows me into some rather shady areas for interesting photographs! We got questioned by the police as to what we were doing down there, but no harm done LOL

a perfectly timed gust of wind + sun flare = yay!

the glass is indeed half full for these two

hello gorgeous!

I’m in with anyone who uses a lyric from a Smith’s song in their program.

Thank you Jessica and John for letting me capture your fun day and for braving the heat and the back alley locations that I took you to without batting an eye!  :D  xoxo with love, kate
