Brittani & Matt || Chicago Conservatory Engagement

Hello, it's been a while!  Like 3 and a half months to be exact.  YIKES!!!  Trust me, I have not been doing nothing - on the opposite end of the spectrum, my life has been so jam packed that I have no idea how I could've fit anything else in. To name a few, I've watched my husband graduate from dental school, shot a wedding every weekend (sometimes two) since April, packed up my entire apartment in Chicago, road tripped cross country with my sister to make the move to Seattle, helped my sister get ENGAGED the day we arrived to Seattle, flew back to Chicago for some more glorious weddings, and now I'm finally back in Washington to be a guest (!!!! I forgot what that feels like) at my cousin's wedding tomorrow.  So, my apologies to the internet for the hiatus, but I'm now back in blogging action.  

I'm delivering this sweet conservatory session today so I thought it would be the perfect one to kick off all of the things I have to share from these past months.  Enjoy Brittani and Matt's engagement session!  

Elizabeth and Patrick || Chicago Engagement Photographer

Back when there were still leaves on the trees, Elizabeth, Patrick and I made a trip to the Chicago Botanic Gardens for a sunrise engagement shoot.  I had been wanting to photograph a couple in the Botanic Gardens forever and Elizabeth and Patrick were the absolute perfect couple to make this dream come true.  Not only are the gardens simply beautiful, but it also holds a special place for these two - it's where Patrick asked Elizabeth to be his one and only forever!  

Man, when I was witnessing Elizabeth and Patrick just be with each other, I was blown away by how great they were at holding each other.  I could feel their romance and it felt like I was watching a movie.  Elizabeth and Patrick were perfectly in love and the sunrise just made it even sweeter.
