“WOW… what a SMOKIN’ HOT COUPLE! Not to mention, the natural love, affection and chemistry Brad + Lauren had for each other during the shoot was astounding + inspiring. B+L photographed like true professional models on their engagement photo session. Wouldn’t you agree?

 

We had an amazing time shooting Brad + Lauren’s Chicago style high-fashion engagement photography session in a contrasting country, small town and nature park setting. ( We loved heading out to the country to shoot — a much needed break for us, after numerous consecutive urban city engagement shoots. ) We loved everything about this photo shoot –- the weather, fun locations, Brad’s smokin’ turbo Mini Cooper, plus the vibrant + trendy clothing style B+L brought… it all came together quite nicely.

 

Brad + Lauren’s relationship started out as high school sweethearts. Brad decided to propose and soon after their wedding planning had begun. And with wedding planning, there comes finding a wedding photographer. We were so happy Brad and Lauren found us on FACEBOOK through mutual friends. When we met B+L for the first time, they came to us with one mission in mind — to create some bad-ass engagement & wedding photos that uniquely represents exactly who they are. Needless to say we gladly accepted this proposal and had a blast getting creative with them. Thanks for letting us put our creativity to the test with the smoking car for this one. B+L you both looked amazing and we can’t wait for your wedding in less than a month. ( Hope we’re lucky to catch some bombs bursting in the air during your Fourth of July weekend wedding! ) Enjoy the photos and thanks again!!”

 

 

 

Brad + Lauren’s Summer July Chicagoland wedding ceremony is planned at America’s Historic Roundhouse (formally known as Walter Payton’s Roundhouse) in Aurora, Illinois. Their outdoor ceremony is set to take place underneath the venue’s outdoor, courtyard gazebo. Following the ceremony is their reception proceeding indoors also at The Roundhouse in their Grand Ballroom. We are looking forward to a fun wedding day celebration with Brad, Lauren, family, friends and bridal party. A number of guests may be familiar faces to Miller + Miller, Brad and Lauren are from our hometown of Oswego, Illinois, so we’re looking forward to seeing a few friends at the celebration as well.

 

“Busy wedding season is here and we have several new, fun couple’s wedding + engagement blog entries coming soon to our photo blog! ♥ Up first is last week’s Chicago engagement photography session with Chip + Tina. We had a beautiful Spring day and enjoyed the walk and talks with each other while moving from one shooting spot to the next around Soldier Field and Burnham Harbor. We really enjoyed talking to Tina and Chip learning about them and their upcoming wedding. Tina was a referral to us from one of our favorite boutique wedding dress, bridal shops in Chicagoland ( also where I purchased my wedding dress ) called White Satin Bridal. I can’t wait to see the dress she decided upon in a few days!

 

Chip has recently moved to the City from Tinley Park. Season ticket holders to the Bears, they watch many games and enjoy tailgating at Soldier Field. We learned Tina has lived in the Bridgeport neighborhood all of her life ( which isn’t too live far from both the Sox and Soldier fields. ) It was fun learning how Tina and Chip first met a few years ago at a friend’s backyard bbq party. Thanks guys in spending the afternoon with us! We are so excited for your wedding – in just over one week!! We hope you enjoy the final days of your planning and love the photos.”

We’re going to definitely have some fun during group photos with their big, bridal party.
