I’ve known Joe & Carlota for as long as they’ve been dating. They met a few years ago in Florida when Joe’s job relocated him there. We all loved Carlota more and more with each visit back to Chicago (especially all those Lollapalooza weekends). When Joe moved back to Chicago, Carlota naturally came with and all of us were just waiting on the day for them to make things official. Well it finally happened, just the two of them (and Hurley) on the rooftop of their Lincoln Park condo. I was beyond honored to be asked to photograph not only these engagement photos, but also their wedding! Until then, here’s a few faves from their engagement session…

We obviously had to start the session at their condo since this is where the proposal happened. Those shirts had just arrived hours before the session so they had to make use of them.

For the second half of the session, we hopped over to North Ave. Beach to grab some photos with the skyline (and the beach too since it all began in Florida).
