When Ashley and Mike said they wanted their engagement session at one of their favorite Chicago bars, I was all in! With cocktails in hand, we laughed our way through their shoot, popping around the bar with our flash and capturing the ease and comfort these two have with each other. We wrapped things up with a walk around the neighborhood, capturing moments that look like frames straight out of a rom-com. But getting to connect and get to know these two was by far the highlight for me. They are some of the most genuine, thoughtful and relational people and I’m beyond honored I get to be a part of their story!

“Oh my gosh, ABBIE! We seriously could not be more obsessed and happy with these pictures. You took the small vision I had and made it more amazing than I could've imagined! We could not be more thankful to have you capture all of that and make us feel so incredibly comfortable. You have such amazing talent and I cannot wait for you to photograph our wedding, best decision ever! Thank you thank you thank you. You are the BEST and the sweetest person ever.”
