Michael and Carrie are engaged!

Happy occasions, celebrations, and life altering events - This was all of the above. Michael proposed to Carrie Saturday afternoon. As a surprise, I met them at Buckingham Fountain to document their new engagement with a fabulous tour of the windy city. The night started under the rainbow cast by the setting sun on the fountain and ended with celebratory smooches from their dog, Leah. Congratulations to you both!

    My fiance and I worked with Amy the night of our engagement. After the proposal we walked to Buckingham Fountain and to my surprise Amy was there waiting for us. Amy went all around the city with us taking pictures so we would have an amazing keepsake of this memorable evening. Amy was professional and easy to work with. My fiance and I loved our pictures and would not have changed a thing. Amy was easy to contact with questions and flexible regarding scheduling.
    Sincerely,
    Carrie Castaldo & Michael Herbert

    Very nice pictures of you both...Though nothing will ever compete with the mental pictures I have in my mind of Michael and I playing hoops. I can see it now...Michael posting up down low doing all the grunt work and then dishing off at the last second for me to shoot that wide open 3 pointer. Buckets baby Buckets!

    Love the idea of doing a Chicago tour with a phtographer. A great way to set this occasion in your memory forever no matter what city you end up in for the future! I will pass this idea on. Love black and white photos and the "Bean" effect is a neat perspective.
