Sabrina Nohling Photography

I am so excited to share this engagement session with you all today! Charity is a fellow Chicago photographer so I was honored to do her engagement pictures! Ok maybe a little nervous too! That is pressure shooting another photographerAll of that went away the second I met them though. One thing I noticed right away was how at ease they were with each other. The way he held her, the way they held hands, and just the way they interacted was full of comfort and totally natural. It is hard to explain, but that is the way most married couples are after being together for years. It just showed how Calvin and Charity are just meant for each other. I love that Calvin makes her laugh too! I think that is so important in a relationship and he had us both laughing in the shoot!  There are so many elements about this shoot that I loved including the location. I found this farm in Elgin and it worked out so well! I couldn’t narrow down favorites so it is a big blogpost today

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few weeks ago, on the big season finale of the Bachelor, I couldn’t help but cry at the beautiful proposal. A few days later I cried watching Jim propose to Pam on the Office during my office marathon. This means one of two things is true. Either I am really emotional or I love proposals. Ok both is true but I love proposals!! I love the excitement, the planning and secrets, and the moment the girl realizes she is getting to spend forever with her man. So romantic!
When Jake contacted me a while back I was so excited! (Funny thing was I was watching the Bachelor when I got his email…obsessed much?) Anyway, he wanted to propose at Grahams 318 in downtown Geneva, which is such a cute place.So my friend Arielle and I played secret photographers while trying to snap the whole thing! It was hilarious trying to act like we were just taking pictures of each other or the restaurant when really I was taking pictures of Amanda and Jake! It was such a great moment to be apart of. I love that after the proposal, Amanda still didn’t know Jake hired a photographer and she just thought I was a creepy person who wouldn’t stop taking pictures! Afterwards, Jake surprised her again with having her family and his all meet upstairs. Here are the meltworthy pictures of the proposal!
