Romantic Summer Engagement Session – Patricia & Tony
September is in full swing, and it seems like yesterday we were enjoying those summer days. Thought I’d reminisce a little with Patricia and Tony’s romantic summer engagement session! The theme for this session might as well have been “Summer Love” – I mean, these two are just adorable together (see below!). Spending the afternoon with them was a breeze.
We started at their new home in West Town and then hit some of our mutual favorite spots around the city. We even got to witness a Real Live RAINBOW!! Thank you, weather gods! What more could you want for your summer engagement session?! I was one very happy photographer 🙂
Patricia and Tony: thanks for spending the afternoon with me last month! You’re naturals in front of the camera together and I look forward to capturing your wedding day next year.
I’m Emma (She/Her): Beer nerd, cat-whisperer, Schitt’s Creek-obsessed Chicago wedding photographer. I’ve been helping couples relive their wedding memories since 2014, and wouldn’t have it any other way!
Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I currently reside in Chicago with my designer-turned-handyman partner and our two spunky felines. When I’m not photographing couples in love, I’m either hanging with these three, managing our West Town studio space, or traveling someplace new!
A Few of My Favorite Things:
Black coffee
Buttercream frosting
Road trips
Watching the sun rise
Pretending I sound like Mariah Carey
Belgian beer
The Green Bay Packers
My little fam (Jeremy, Miike and Vince)
Halloween (the holiday – not the movie. Okay, the movie’s pretty good too.)
About You
You want stunning, true-to-life wedding photos that look and feel like YOU. You don’t want to feel stiff or look too “posed.” And most importantly, you want to ENJOY your wedding day while we capture all the good stuff!
Whether you thrive in the spotlight or cringe at the thought of being photographed, we are there to capture your memories. And let’s be honest: your wedding day is going to be AWESOME. No matter what goes according to plan or how many things surprise you, at the end of the day you’ll be married to Your Person. And, spoiler alert: that’s what this is all about!
My Approach
My relaxed, documentary approach allows couples to feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (it’s the number one thing mentioned in my Reviews!). Expect a mix of candid moments and contemporary portraiture, with the occasional embarrassing (aka HILARIOUS) dance floor photo. I will be your hype girl during portrait time (seriously!). We’ll get to know each other throughout the process, and it doesn’t stop on wedding day. I want to show up with hugs and handshakes – not as just another vendor.
