katie & kevin :: engaged :: chicago

Someone please pinch me, I must be dreaming.  Chicago one of my favorite cities and getting to shoot here is most certainly a dream come true.  Especially with a couple as adorable and photogenic as Katie and Kevin.

I’ve known Katie since high school.  In fact, I used to date her older brother which makes her like a sister to me.  I was SO excited when she called me to tell me the proposal news (even though her mother had already told me it was happening a few months before it did!) I couldn’t be happier for her.  She now lives and works in Chicago.  When it just so happened I was going to Chicago for a wedding, we just HAD to do their engagement session here.

Umm, seriously.  How cute are they?

Katie and Kevin met in college and have been dating since.  She (and her family) is a die hard Cardinals fan, and he, as much as it pains me to say, a die hard Cubs fan.  I told her mother that I couldn’t believe she was letting her daughter marry a cubs fan.  He must be one hell of a guy!  And after meeting Kevin, he is a pretty good guy ; )  But we couldn’t resist a little cubs/cards rivalry.

Katie, Kev – had so MUCH fun with you despite the heat!  Already so excited for your wedding next summer!!
