Shahzeen & Prem at Chicago Botanic Garden
Shahzeen & Prem chose The Chicago Botanic Garden for their engagement session location, the grounds were beautiful with a lot of variety!
We had so much fun walking around and finding spots to shoot, and I quickly learned that not only are they both super sweet people, but they have a great sense of humor! I cannot wait to photograph their ceremony in September!
You can see more of my favorites on their facebook album!
See you both very soon!

Once we were oriented on where the Japanese gardens were we headed along the manicured paths.
Shahzeen has such a sweet and gentle disposition.
Have I mentioned that I seem to get the most beautiful clients?
I love Prem’s expression in this image, they were both so peaceful and kind and I feel it really shows in this photo.

So it’s not a big secret that my favorite color is green. Well, orange is a close second, so when I saw this beautiful grass and Shahzeen’s head scarf I insisted that she sit down for me so that I could make some orange and green images! Yeah, I’m selfish like that.
How cute is she!
