Engagement Session at Starved Rock, IL

Not your typical skyscrapers, or skyline views… nope, not today! Truth be told, we even printed some of these images for our Home Studio, gah these images are everything!

The best things come for those who wait...

Taco bell, jokes about medicine and the stars lining up are all usual topics of conversations at South Asian Weddings… Many of our couples are going into the medical profession, and it can be a very busy schedule, but just like marriage… sometimes it takes a little time to see the wonders of a milestone completed.

It’s hard to believe that our countdown is now down to two weeks…

Congratulations Sindhura and Sean… you two make a beautiful couple!

Talk about connecting with our couples...

Engagement sessions is our favorite way to connect with our couples, as we get to see them interact with each other, and practice being in front of the camera. While the session is completely different than the wedding itself, we get to feel their way of connecting with one another, and more often than not, we end up chatting about their wedding and all the fun they are planning for the big day.

This is Monica and Michael, two people with the sweetest personalities. You see them smiling in every photo, not because they were nervous in front of the camera, but these two are such a flirt! and to this, we call being in love!

I love that they didn’t wear glamorous outfits, but instead they photographed true to themselves. Seriously, two honest people with a genuine heart!

Chicago Engagement Session

Most times when we talk to our brides about their Engagement Session, they all want our beautiful Chicago backdrops for their photos. Chicago is a place that drags so many people from so many places, and it is often full of visitors third-wheeling our couples on their session. We have found that it’s all about timing in Chicago, not only lighting is our main concern, but also avoiding the busy crowds. Take a look at the photos from our friends Alex and Noor… and don’t feel bad if you don’t feel as comfortable in front of the camera and can’t pose like these two; between you and me, (shhhhh! he is actually a model!).

We literally can’t wait for these guys’ wedding… we always photograph beautiful people, but these two make posing quite the treat :)
