CHICAGO. I'm literally RUNNING out the door to meet with my trainer… but I wanted to get this published before I left. I PROMISE to write more when I get back. So, STAY TUNED!

In the meantime… Megan and Matt… YOU SO ROCK!!!!

Love love love!

OOOOOOOKAY… I'm back!SO… I often will say that my most loyal future clients are past bridesmaids/groomsmen… which for us, is the ULTIMATE complimentYou see, Megan was the maid of honor at this amazing wedding back in June, 2008. However, she took loyal to the next levelI got an email from her in July and it read, "I just got engaged (tonight)!"…. AYKM?! TONIGHT??!????!!!! YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!!!

We all had so much fun exploring the busy-ness that is Chicago, you guys were SUCH good sports with all of the people around! Can't wait to see that hot little woman in a hot little wedding dress!

PS. Because I'm writing this little blurb after its' been published… I've gotten a few questions about how I took that last black and white. I don't like to over complicate sessions with lots of setup stuff… for us, it ruins the spontenaity of the shoot. So nope, no flash and no tripod. It was taken with the 35mm 1.4L at 2.0 and 1/10 of a second at ISO 100. How did I keep myself steady? I propped my elbows on my (not small) chest (for support) and fired away.I'd be lying if I said I nailed it the first time. We were out there for a few minutes before I was happy with the results. Was that the answer you were expecting?

We are SUCH tourists!

Ooooooh. Wow! That totally answers my question. I’ll have to work on my pecs to give some more chest support.

ChristinaSeptember 27, 2009 - 8:12 pm

OK, I have to ask. When did you take this picture?? I was in Chicago on Monday night, 9/21. We were walking down the Miracle Mile after dinner and I saw someone doing an engagement shoot on an island in the middle of the street. Was this you???

Ok I MUST comment now. I’m a long time blog-stalker and don’t usually comment, but these photos STAND OUT among your others. You’re always great but these are exceptionally great! I love the one of her up close on his shoulder and of course the last black and white is amazing. Great job!!! I’m so inspired!!

MeganSeptember 23, 2009 - 4:48 pm

SoniaSeptember 23, 2009 - 2:32 pm

Not that you guys would know this, but if Megan reads this- Where did you get that blue dress? I love it!

Gorgeous photos. You guys are such an inspiration for this aspiring photographer!

BetsySeptember 23, 2009 - 2:22 pm

Hi Bobbi! I love The Bean! Also, were you using a flash in the last picture to keep them sharp? There’s so much awesome motion in the rest of the picture but they’re crisp as a fresh stack of copy paper!

Brad
