As I mentioned in the sneak peek, we started Kelly & Jeff’s engagement session at their place. Some wonderful window light, and adorable decor, and we were set. After that, despite the frigid temperatures, we took a walk around their ‘hood. This was the first time that I really spent any time around Lincoln Square (cut me some slack, I’m a total suburbanite!), and I completely fell in love with it. What a cute area! I’m dying to go back when it’s above freezing.

Kelly & Jeff are getting married at the end of this month, and I couldn’t be more excited. Not only does their wedding sound like it’s going to be stunning, but they are just fun people to be around.

I see all sorts of traditions since I attend so many weddings, and it’s one of the best parts of my job… the fact that each wedding is a bit different. I don’t know if it’s common (I hadn’t seen it before), but I LOVED that Tracy had all of her girls (& mom) sign the bottom of her shoes. They were well wishes that she could have with her all day!

Of course, that wasn’t the only part of the day that was fantastic. The speeches given at the reception were amazing and tear-inducing. The fact that Tracy and Patrick and the wedding party braved 10 degree weather for photos as the sun was setting was awe-inspiring (ironically, I think that might have been one of the coldest days all winter… figures, right?). And, of course, we couldn’t forget the late night McDonald’s cheeseburgers!

It was an all-around wonderful day. Full of smiles, wonderful people, and beautiful decorations! Congrats, Tracy and Patrick!

We spent the afternoon with Kelly & Jeff today, hanging out at their place (so cute!) and walking around their neighborhood a bit. Love close-to-home shoots like that, especially when the area is as cute as Lincoln Square! Here are a few immediate favs, more to come soon!
