No matter how I photographed this beautiful bouquet, it looked stunning! I love the mix of texture and soft colors in this. I think it's safe to say it was one of my favorite bouquets of last year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #karenshouflerbride #bridaldetails #bridalbouquet #weddingflorals #illinoisweddingphotographer #illinoiswedding #champaignweddingphotographer #champaignwedding #midwestwedding #showiteer #summerwedding

This was one of the sweetest getting ready moments I've witnessed. Lexi's mom gave her a beautiful album full of letters from her family and friends. It was so emotional and beautiful. Lexi also arranged for an album for her future husband. I'll be sure to share a couple of those photos at another time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I just loved the sentiment of this gift. It will be a treasure for Lexi for years to come, as well as for future generations to read. What a legacy of love! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #karenshouflerbride #karenshouflercouple #gettingready #bridaldetails #champaignweddingphotographer #champaignwedding #illinoiswedding #ilweddingphotographer #midwestwedding #travelweddingphotographer

Baby, it's cold outside!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you do when you don't want to reschedule an engagement session when it's going to feel like -5 out? You head inside the beautiful Lincoln Park Conservatory for the most beautiful light and all of the green color that we are missing in Illinois in January. While we did pop outside to get some dreamy, snowy photos with the skyline in the background, THESE are the photos I wanted to share first for Cait and Ryan. Don't worry! I'll share more later. :) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #karenshoufler #karenshouflercouple #chicagoengagement #lakeshoreinlove #chicagoweddingphotographer #chicagowedding #lincolnpark #conservatory #showiteer #midwestwedding #travelweddingphotographer #illinoisweddingphotographer

With a wind chill hovering around 0F, these cuties braved the cold for a couple of quick photos outside the Lincoln Park Conservatory on Sunday. After being inside the very warm conservatory, it was actually nice to get some fresh air for a minute or two and that snow and light were just perfect. ⠀ ⠀ While this wasn't our ideal plan for their engagement session, I love how their session turned out. Sometimes when you are forced to think outside the box (or inside the box in this case, haha), you tend to have to be a little creative. I think it's so good as a creative artist to be stretched now and then. That's often where the magic happens.⠀ ⠀ #karenshoufler #karenshouflercouple #chicagoengagement #chicagowedding #chicagoweddingphotographer #ilweddingphotographer #ilwedding #midwestwedding #midwestweddingphotographer
