Chicago Engagement Shoot - Kent and Holly

"I'm in love with Kent!" she said that cold February day as she looked at me with tears in her eyes. She was giggling and holding back tears all in the same breath. I was no help as I beamed with excitement...trying to offer a voice of reason but failing miserably as I hoped and prayed that he was feeling the same way.
They had gotten to know each other on a trip to Zambia where they spent a week working with orphans. On the flight back, they had seats next to each other and the friendship was formed. In the months to follow, their friendship developed as they fell in love...and the rest, through prayers prayed, tears cried, emails analyzed :), and just good ol' fashioned waiting...as they say, is history.
As we walked along the beach, through Lincoln Park Zoo, and the streets of Chicago, I watched them. More than a photographer, but as a friend. They're in love...that's obvious. But what I noticed even more is that they not only loved each other, they really LIKED each other...as friends. I loved that.
Thanks, Kent and Holly,
for letting me come alongside you, not only as your photographer, but as your friend...in life. It's an honor to write this post to you, my friends, and to document your love story. I'm excited for your wedding and know it's going to be a great weekend!

Much LOVE to you both, my dear Holly Anne & Kent!!!
