I got to take engagement photos for a good friend.

My best friend growing up recently got engaged! We did everything together as kids. Everything from playing baseball on one of the worst little league teams of all time, to spending whole summers in the swimming pool.  And now I’m excited he found someone as cool as he is.

This was a very fun engagement portrait session. We started off in Oak Park and ended up in Old Town. Oak Park is always interesting, as it has a Frisbee disc golf course. There are usually a few interesting characters to navigate around, and this time was no exception. There were a couple of guys in an intense game of frolf. Apparently, we were right next to the 18th hole (which is complete with a tricky water hazard). As we were walking away from taking a picture overlooking the pond, we see one of the discers wading waist-deep into the water. Mind you, part of the pond was still frozen over. Anyways, the scenery rarely disappoints and makes for some good portrait settings.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the shoot:
