ERICA+DAN | CHICAGO ENGAGEMENT SESSION
2011-06-24 09:02:56I LOVED this shoot!! Erica, Dan and I had a GREAT afternoon together in Chicago! They seriously embraced this shoot to the fullest and I think it totally shows in the images! We spent our time laughing, talking, touring Chicago and having an absolute BLAST! We stopped at some of their favorite spots around town, at the awesome new house that they just built and the incredibly cute restaurant where they had their first date! I love when shoots incorporate personal things that are also really fun! Erica & Dan…seriously, I adore you guys! THANK YOU for such a fun time in Chicago and being such troopers for an awesome shoot!! You two worked it OUT! 😉 Can’t wait for the wedding!! xoxo!!
First a stop in Lincoln Park where Erica lives and works…. (for now!) 😉 It’s a good thing that Indianapolis has my heart or else I would pick up my things and move to this uber charming neighborhood in about 1.3 seconds flat.
Then, off to the city… HELLO CHICAGO!
Who knew that the meat packing district could lure me in like a KID in a candy store….love me some COLOR!!
And their incredible new house! I was trying to figure out a way to disassemble this light that I clearly loved and pack it in my bag to take home with me… 😉
Then we were off to their first date restaurant! Seriously, the restaurants in Chicago leave me LONGING for a day where I do nothing but tour cute restaurants and eat…. good thing I don’t live there or else…
And finally, a stop at some rockin graffiti in Wicker Park… Erica did a stellar job of picking locations after we discussed the vision for the shoot! KUDOS Erica…a girl who after my own heart who loves style, color and the city! 😉
