I finally woke up early and took a walk around my neighborhood at sunrise. It was oddly peaceful-a rare thing for Chicago!

Orrie and Jenny met over a summer mission trip and had a whirlwind engagement. Their wedding involved some traveling-they got married in Jenny's home state of Wisconsin! The simple, outdoor wedding was gorgeous and completely them!

This weekend I had the privilege to photograph two of my wonderful friends getting engaged...on a roof! It was a pretty special proposal and fit them perfectly.
These two have been together since our sophomore year of college at Clemson. They are one of the cutest couples I know and I have loved seeing their relationship grow throughout the years.
