Allana and Sherwin: Chicago Botanic Garden Engagement

Last week I flew out to Chicago for two awesome engagement sessions!  Both couples are getting married in late July out there!  

The first one was Allana and Sherwin!  We wandered the Chicago Botanic Garden, which was awesome because I had never been there.  Its a gorgeous park with beautiful landscaping!
