“My cousin Kristin is getting married and is looking for a photographer,” said Matt, one of my best friends. “I think she should talk with you” he finished. We chatted a little while longer about traveling to Chicago for Kristin’s wedding, about friends and about family. Not much later, I was on the phone with Kristin and Max and everything was going perfectly. Before I knew it, we were already planning their engagement session. I was anticipating an engagement session in Chicago, but little did I know that Kristin and Max had something very special in mind. Fans of the movie ​Stranger Than Fiction will know how much “little did I know” can mean. Step inside to see “what little did I know”.

I’m stuck waiting just a little bit longer. I have been dying to post these photos for a while now. In September I traveled to New Buffalo, Michigan to meet Kristin and Max for their destination engagement session. The whole session wast shot on film, and the shots are just now coming back from the lab. Until I receive the rest of the photos, the full post will have to wait. Until then, here is a little film preview from their engagement in New Buffalo.
