So I'm finally posting the photos I took with Maria and Israel. Maria is a long-time friend of my fiance, they've been friends since high school. So that's how I became friends with her as well. Maria is an amazing girl and Israel is perfect for her. They are complete opposites but that's what makes them so great together.

Maria's family and some friends also joined in on the photos and they brought some awesome red balloons as props.

                 


                 

A month ago I did engagement portraits for a friend whose wedding is in one month. I'm also doing her wedding photography as well. She invited some friends and family to join her for the shoot so there are group portraits as well. They are very much in love with each other and everyone got along great, smiling and laughing together.

Talia and Brandon got married on July 7th, just a month ago. They had a short and simple ceremony at the Chicago Cultural Center with an intimate group of 20 friends and family. After the ceremony, we took group shots and portraits in the Cultural Center and then while their friends and family headed off to a restaurant for cocktail hour, we walked across the street to Millennium Park for more portraits.
