Sarah and Chris: Engagement Session

Sometimes people just know.
Sometimes... your sister just knows...
And this time, Sarah's sister knew.  So she did what any good sister would do: she convinced her sister to go to her nephew's practice so she could meet his hockey coach.  And...her sister gave him Sarah's number.
Disclaimer: this is completely unlike Sarah's sister.  But hey, sometimes when you know, you have to take a risk...for your sister.
A few days later they had a "sort-of" blind date.  And they started to realize that Sarah's sister was right.
This fall, Sarah and Chris will start their journey as husband and wife.  So, of course, they needed to stop and document this moment.  Their love - their excitement - and lots of snow...

Sarah and Chris - I'm such a fan.  Thank you for inviting me to spend a Sunday afternoon with you.  (while the Bears unfortunately lost...)  And thank you for being patient with me as ice + Amy often equals disaster...  I am so excited for the two of you to get married and I had such a wonderful time with you!

Meet the incredible and incredibly gorgeous Sarah and Chris...

Okay, Sarah, I LOVE the way you look at Chris.  It's pretty obvious how much you love him...



Can we say awesome?  These two rocked it out...  And Sarah - thank you so much for finding the Hyatt Regency Ohare so that we could do some indoor pictures!





LOVED this spot.  And of course, they can make anything look AMAZING.

If only you knew what went into this elevator shot...





And then we headed out for some ice skating/hockey fun...





LOVE

Sarah, you are GORGEOUS.
