Addi and Al met during a math class in College (University of IL)….at first glance she thought he “looked like just another frat boy” – although it turns out first thoughts aren’t always correct.
Their first date was lunch on a Sunday during their Junior year and it was kinda down hill from there. His proposal was sweet and intimate…just the two of them in a nice quiet space.
Al is madly in love…(if you can’t tell by the photos) and Addi is likewise head-over-heels.
While working together shooting their engagement photos…It reminded me of when I first fell in love with Chris. The smiles, laughing and soft touches… All the little things that make a heart go pitter-pat. I’m so excited for them to have one another. They will be able to always find happiness with each other.
Here are a few of my favorite photos….I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

I like to pick a few favorites at the end of a sneak peek….but I’m finding it’s getting harder and harder to narrow down just one. If I had to choose only one…I’d have to pick the very first one of Addi and Al laughing together. Their love for each other is so prevalent in that image.
If you could only pick one photo – which would be your favorite?
Addi - Jill and Chris –
I’m so excited to see the rest of them. These are great! My favorites are the first one with Oskee and the last two.
Joyce - I love the ones I’m seeing so far! I would love to see more! These pictures are truly a great representation of Addi and Al. They are super cute! 😀
Valeri - Absolutely beautiful!! The close up B&W one might be my favorite but they are all so good!!
Emily - Addi and Al, I LOVE your photos. It’s obvious how much you care for each other in each shot. I know it’s not the most romantic photo, but I laughed at the Save the Date one because of Addi’s face. Classic Addi goofiness. Miss you both and I wish you all the best!
JC - Love the last one! Very sweet.
De Bush - The very last two are my favorites. Plus I like the one with Oskee of course-with Addi and Al in the background. And the one with the sun… It really is too hard to pick now that I go back through them!! (Addi’s mom)
Lydia - I love these pictures! It’s hard to choose just one, but I think my favorite is the second to last: they’re both smiling really big. 🙂
Clara B. - How do I choose?
I really like the last two, the one with the sunset and the first one when they are laughing.
I think my absolute favorite in the sunset one.
Cortney - My favorite is the one with the sunset! But they are all great!
Megan M - My favorite picture of Addi and Al would have to be the last one or the one of them with their charming puppy :).
Susan Murphy - EEEE!!! I love them all 🙂 Addi you look BEAUTIFUL. I think my favorite though is the one where both of you are laughing, perfectly caught the moment!

Emily - Addi these are so great! I remember when you first met Al and how giggly you were in the beginning. I love each of these pictures because they represent both of you so well!

Congrats!!!
Andrew - Guess what? Now a photographer is going to judge your engagement photos:
-I don’t like the Save The Date chalkboard photo, only because she snapped it at a moment when you guys weren’t really posing. Addi looks halfway through a sentence and it’s awkward.
-The dog photo (where you’re all at the same distance and in focus) is one of my favorites.
-The kiss with the sun underneath is super-artsy. Save that one for your hipster friends. Being one myself, I dig it.
-All the laughing ones are great, too.
My conclusion? Money VERY well spent. You guys look great!
Linda - Addi and Al,

I really like the one in the field.
