There’s just something so sweet about them. The subtle nuances. The way he holds her hand…or that sparkle in her eye every time she looks at him. When I met Kari and Joe I could tell that they just fit. Like being together was second nature and something that they always knew was right. Something that was meant to be.
All day it looked like it wanted to rain. Gloom and clouds threatening to sabotage our photos. But as the evening rolled around…the skies parted…and it ended up being the perfect night for photos. We walked all over downtown Chicago. Stopping at all the places that really felt like Chicago. It was one of those nights that made me feel so lucky to live in the greatest city in the world. I sometimes forget how great it is until I’m right in the heart of it and I can feel all the energy pumping around me. And even more-so when I get to photograph a couple who is so obviously in love…with Chicago as our backdrop.
Kari and Joe…I’m so happy I finally got to put some faces with the names. I had so much fun with you guys and I know you are going to have an amazing wedding!! I have a very good feeling we’ll be seeing each other again in the future! So much love to you both!
