mindy + matt – engagements!

CHICAGO: the engagement portrait chronicles, part three.

the weathermen/women of chicago had me on my toes all week, constantly predicting freezing temperatures and rain, including the sunday i was scheduled to shoot with mindy and matt. thank God they’re terrible at their job. sunday, although a bit chilly with the wind, turned out to be gorgeous and sunny. i really got lucky all 3 days to have bearable weather with no rain, and even hints of sunshine here and there.

mindy and matt have a great story! they met on match.com early last year and hit it off! 8 and a half months later matt popped the question. they’re getting married at the gorgeous South Shore Cultural Center, where barak and michelle obama apparently had their wedding reception. mindy and matt had their first meeting at the foot of the john hancock tower so we decided that would be a cool place to meet up and start photos. we meandered around town after that, visiting millennium park and ending up at the shedd aquarium.

they were so sweet and easy to get along with. here’s a sneak peek of a few photos. i even make an appearance in one of them. can you spot me? :)
