Ben & Esther . E

Ben and Esther's happiness with each other was evident in their constant laughter throughout this entire engagement session. Despite a failed attempt at a tandem bike shoot and a rude encounter with some obnoxious boys, these two never failed to go with the flow and have a good time. Esther was even gracious enough to let Ben feature his Jordans for a couple of shots. Best fiancé ever. As Esther's ex-roommate and formerly bullied friend, I'm so excited to see how far this couple has come and what's in store for them next.

Yejun & Carol . Proposal

It was one of those sticky, hot, sauna-like days in the good 'ole cornfields of Champaign-Urbana. It's not often that I get to take the two-hour hike down to my second home, so when Yejun emailed me about this shoot, I jumped at the opportunity. Little did I know, just standing and waiting in the bushes left me literally drenched with sweat. I normally don't like sweating, but being able to capture Carol's reaction after waiting many years for this moment was absolutely worth it. From shock, to tears, to constant smiles for the rest of the day, she was probably the happiest girl on campus. Good job, Yej!
