Chicago is a city that you can’t turn the corner without having a picturesque backdrop.  Whether it is the city skyline and lights or the subway and newsstands shown in these fabulous engagement session photos from SB Childs Photography, each photo has a personality of its own! You can tell that Casey and Blain weren’t afraid to venture all over the city to ensure great photos.

I LOVE these city shots and for all of you brides who live in Chicago, I hope you all are taking advantage of what a wonderfully diverse city we live in and start getting creative with your photo shoot locations!

I love seeing photographers who are constantly coming up with new creative ways to use technology with their photos.  I especially think Save the Date’s have come a long way, and this short video from Thomas Marlow stands out as such a fun and innovative idea for an old concept!    Watch as his photos are put in motion and to music to let upcoming guests know to save the date. He takes what is usually a still photo and adds movement with a fun message  Also, he sent me a fabulous engagement session that is full of life and laughter as the couple is playfully baking cookies.  I love how the kitchen starts out clean and ends extremely messy – that is the best way to bake cookies I think!

Enjoy the photo videos, I did!
