Samir & Dharna Chicago engagement photos!

Last week I was in Chicago and had the awesome opportunity to meet Dharna & Samir, whose wedding I will photograph in less than two months!  I shot their engagement portraits by the Adler Planetarium to get a super view of the Chicago skyline and then we headed to Millennium Park to finish off.

What a gorgeous evening!  See all my favorites on their facebook gallery.  Thanks for choosing me Dharna & Samir, I am so excited for your wedding!
