Laura and Manse met the old fashioned way – on a dating app – and bonded over their love of dogs and good food. They were comfortable with one another from the beginning and found it easy to talk about anything and everything. They got engaged in their backyard and after she said yes they were greeted by their dogs Hazy and Copper and both sets of parents to celebrate!
Laura and Manse are kind and laid back, Conrad loved getting to know them at their engagement session downtown. They started at Bangers & Lace in Wicker Park for some fun casual shots at their favorite spot for drinks and food. Laura then changed into a pretty green dress and they headed to the Lincoln Park Nature Walk, it was such an easy and pretty day, Conrad was excited to celebrate their wedding the following Summer!
When the big day arrived Conrad and Lindsay met with Laura at her parents’ house for getting ready photos with Laura and her bridesmaids. These girls were amazing and helped make sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day, all while hyping Laura up and making Manse laugh. Laura’s faithful dog Copper was there and sweetly looked on as Laura changed into her sleek Sophia Tolli gown. Laura then shared the sweetest first look with her Dad before they made their way to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Glenview for the ceremony.
Manse was all smiles as Laura’s Dad walked her down the aisle, and he didn’t take his eyes off his bride for the rest of the day. After their traditional ceremony and a joyful trolley ride to The Glen Club we settled in for a perfect evening celebrating the newlyweds. We were graced with a pretty sunset where Laura and Manse could enjoy a quiet moment together to revel in their new status as husband and wife. It was such a lovely day, we were truly thankful to be a part of these moments!
Congratulations, Laura and Manse, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Tessa and Piotr’s Loyola Engagement Session
Tessa and Piotr met their first week at Loyola University and have been inseparable since. They both lived at the Simpson Center and fell in love while studying – she became a teacher and he is now in his residency. I was so happy to meet these two at the place where they fell in love for their engagement session. It’s always so beautiful to take engagement photos at a location that means something to a couple – I love imagining that someday they can show their grandchildren these photos and retell their love story through them. We had such a lovely time exploring Loyola’s campus together before heading to Lincoln Park for more photos. Tessa and Piotr are a wonderful couple and I can’t wait to celebrate their wedding with them this summer!!
Nada and Rami’s Romantic Lincoln Park Proposal
We first got a call at the studio from Rami’s cousin, she was helping him plan the PERFECT surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Nada. From that first conversation with his sweet cousin to the moment he dropped to one knee we had butterflies for this beautiful couple!
We first got a call at the studio from Rami’s cousin, she was helping him plan the PERFECT surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Nada. From that first conversation with his sweet cousin to the moment he dropped to one knee we had butterflies for this beautiful couple! Rami worked SO hard to make sure every detail was perfect before proposing to his gorgeous girlfriend. He enlisted friends from work to set up a romantic boho-backdrop overlooking the water and skyline at the Lincoln Park Nature Conservatory. While his coworkers scrambled to set the stunning scene, Rami and Nada walked the boardwalk hand in hand and saw several other couples get engaged. Nada wondered to herself if Rami might be ready to ask too, but figured that their moment had not yet come.
As the sun started to set and his squad put the finishing touches on the vignette, Rami asked Nada if she wanted to take a selfie by the pretty backdrop. In that moment he dropped to one knee and asked the love of his life to be his wife. It was a happy blur of tears and laughter and hugs, and in the chaos Rami mistakenly slid the gorgeous solitaire by European Jewelry Inc. onto Nada’s right hand instead of her left. Of course she said yes and was completely blown away by her new fiancé’s thoughtfulness in pulling off the perfect surprise. They could not stop smiling as they popped open a bottle of champagne, high-fived his coworkers and snuggled together against their beautiful backdrop. It was just magical, the most romantic proposal, Conrad and I were completely honored and overjoyed to be there to witness this new chapter in Nada and Rami’s life together. We can’t wait to follow their love story as they now excitedly plan to become husband and wife!!
Congratulations, Nada and Rami, and thank you for letting us be a part of this unforgettable moment!! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
