Tiffany's Bridal Shower PARTY BOOTH!

My cousin Caleb is getting married to the super awesome, Tiffany, in just a couple of weeks! (remember their "surprise engagement session?")

So I was super excited when one of Tiffany's bridesmaids, and fellow Seattleite, Nazra hosted a really rad "old bridesmaid dress" themed bridal shower!

All us girls totally ROCKED IT! with original, vintage, 80's bridesmaid dresses. I was in heaven and just had to pull out an impromptu Lifework Images PARTY BOOTH!

Just one thing before signing out: long live 80s dresses!

Four locations. Three looks. Two people. One love.

I've been falling in love with our totally rad actions and have started creating my own special recipes for each and every couple and shoot.

Why would I be so crazy to spend so much time doing this you ask? Because our (already) beautiful images turn out so incredibly HOT and awesome and COOL and sweet and groovy and stylized and, well, you'll get the idea when you check out Manny and Adriana's E Session that took place at four different locations in Chicago.

The set of images is in a three-part-series on the blog, giving each section it's own stylized look and feel (yes, you can almost feel those textures!).

We will be giving away a $10 Amazon Gift card to one lucky random reader who leaves a comment on one, two, or all three of the blog postings in the links below. The winner will be announced next Monday, August 10th, so be sure to check the posting for the announcement - or even better, subscribe to our blog for all future postings and winner announcements!

Chicago Engagement: Manny & Adriana , I

There is nothing hotter than an orange Mojito scooter and Adriana's awesome yellow shoes at the first location of our shoot with Manny and Adriana!

You can completely tell how much fun these two have together all the time. They didn't stop laughing together, hugging and kissing the whole shoot! Manny and Adriana are completely one of those couple's who's love is inspiring to everyone who is around them. They are the absolute dream couple to capture and we had so much fun running around with them all day!

Chicago Engagement: Manny & Adriana , II

The Bucktown neighborhood has some seriously fantastic panorama graffiti right off N. Milwaukee Ave.! It stretches forever and was so perfect for Manny and Adriana's second location for their engagement images with Manny's super sweet vintage Mercedes.

The third location we totally hopped a fence and took over the old abandoned railroad tracks that runs parallel to W. North Ave. The sun was so perfect for these gritty-hot images of them goofing off together!

Chicago Engagement: Manny & Adriana , III

We can never get enough of shooting downtown Chicago and were really glad when Manny and Adriana chose Millennium Park as their forth location for their engagement shoot.

LOVE LOVE LOVE shooting in the pretty gardens at The Art Institute of Chicago (and using the awesome Beaux-Arts architecture of the building as a backdrop!).

And speaking of architecture, as we were all expressing our admiration for Frank Gehry's work in both Chicago and Seattle (Experience Music Project), the really nice security guard at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion let us through the roped off area and allowed us to shoot Manny and Adriana right up against the silvery steel in style!
