I shot a beautiful wedding last weekend, and while I was shooting the portraits, I got a wonderful phone call from my little sister Krista, announcing her engagement to the man of her dreams, and now my soon to be brother in law! It feels so weird to say that! They came into town this weekend, and after a bite to eat at the Bistro to Go, I decided to grab some quick photos of them as we walked around the North Side to the park near the Aviary and down around the Mexican War Street area.

Here is the video from my sisters engagement that my other sister Ellie, and their friend Stance shot of the moments leading up to the surprise engagement.

We are going to shoot more photos when the weather cooperates and they are dressed more for the occasion, but this was just an impromptu mini session. They were totally uncomfortable with the camera, but their laughter, and mannerisms really came through in the photos.

Enjoy their life, love, and adventure.

I am so excited for them, and can’t wait to help them plan their wedding. I am also excited to be shooting their portraits. This will help me understand even better, what planning a wedding really takes!

I’ll be posting the wedding from last weekend over the next few days, as well as a mini project that I have been working on.

Blessings.
