Dave + Ariel http://www.simplyjessie.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/22/married-dave-ariel/ http://www.simplyjessie.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/22/married-dave-ariel/#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 21:29:22 +0000 Jessie http://www.simplyjessie.com/blog/?p=1288 Remember these two? They had a lovely fall engagement session in November. Their wedding was a wonderful treat. I get so unbelievably warm and tingly when I see two people in love create a day that is about them, no one else, but them. Their day, their love, their vows, their future lives. They had love oozing out of all the little details. For Dave and Ariel this equaled minimalism. No bridal party, only their closest family and friends and a day where the two of them enjoyed a cocktail at The Roof downtown Chicago. The ceremony was sacred, quiet and authentic. Dave loves this girl and Ariel just glows when they are together. Days like this one I take it all in and can’t believe my job is to capture and celebrate love. I stop and see Eric, my love, shooting beside me , and the new love in front of my lens. Thank you Dave and Ariel for choosing Eric and I to capture your day. What a privilege. Thank you for trusting us to see and document what you two share. It is so evident that you share thoughtful genuine love. I can not wait for what is to come for you two. (No really I can’t!)

Congratulations. Your love is awesome.

Patrick + Casey http://www.simplyjessie.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/12/engaged-patrick-casey/ http://www.simplyjessie.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/12/engaged-patrick-casey/#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:21:49 +0000 Jessie http://www.simplyjessie.com/blog/?p=1260 Patrick and Casey were a blast to photograph. Their connection was so evident. They have a confident, easy going, full of laughter sort of love. Next December is the big day, but instead of a wintery wedding here they are opting for sunshine in Key West to begin their life together. I love it when engagement portraits have a completely different “feel” than their wedding photos. Love it. We started in the Monadnock building then braved Chicago in January on LaSalle St. and ended up sipping delicious drinks at The Roof on the 27th floor of the Wit Hotel. This post is a little longer than usual because I got a little trigger happy when it came to shooting these two. Congratulations Patrick and Casey, thank you for letting me tell a bit of your story. You two are perfect together and seriously…. I love the laughter!
