From the start, I was confident this session would be magic.  And it over-delivered.  Downtown Chicago.  A large amount of snow on the ground.  A dear friend who I haven’t gotten to see in literally years joined and helped us deal with coats and traveling (and hosting me overnight!).  And a couple that has been incredibly kind and inviting since day 1 that even had a sweet gift for my friend and me at the end of the session.

Anne and Brian are quite honestly 2 of the warmest people I have met.  Even while walking around in the cold (and Anne in gorgeous open toed shoes and a not-very-warm dress!), they were so engaging and easy to talk to.  I felt like I had known them for years in the course of one evening, and I truly will go into their wedding feeling like a friend, which is the most ideal situation for me!  I am quite convinced that if we lived in the same place, we would be in person friends (and share our ideal date night of pizza and a movie in together) too.  Anne and Brian met at work, and were good friends for a solid year before they dated (also familiar to my story).  I can see that deep rooted friendship in the way they care for each other, and it is so beautiful!  As are they!  Meet Anne and Brian!

This is their office building where they worked and fell in love! Anne and Brian, I cannot WAIT for your wedding!  Full gallery coming soon!
