They met in the middle of the airport. Omar was leaned up against the wall and as he saw Sultana walk by he smiled at her. Apparently, she could not resist. Ten years later, they are still madly in love and have a beautiful family to show for it. The happy couple is celebrating their ten year anniversary this year, and since they never had a chance to get proper wedding photos taken, they wanted to do them now. I thought it was a wonderful idea!

When I talked to Sultana on the phone, she explained that she would be wearing a traditional Pakistani outfit, and I was thrilled! I absolutely love the colors she wore! All in all, the weather cooperated, their kids are gorgeous, and Omar and Sultana were a blast, so I was a happy camper today!

Here are some of my favorites:

Here are their two cuties, Mateo and Jacob:

When Sultana and I chatted, she was nervous about how she would look. Are you kidding me?

Right, absolutely beautiful…

I was so in love with her outfit, I had to capture the details:

There’s something about this last one, it’s so natural, and so them…

When Ann and booked me a few months ago for this shoot, we never thought we’d have to worry about the weather. Well, for anyone in Chicago I guess we should all know that we can never count on it. This has been one of the rainiest summers I can remember. By about 4PM there was practically a torrential downpour! Luckily, the rain held back for just long enough to get some great outdoor shots! I had such a great time at this session!

First, meet the head of the house hold. This is Charlotte.

She had to put on her power pumps before we got started.

After some shrewd negotiations, I did get her to wear a different pair of shoes

Not to be outdone, here are Charlotte’s parents, Ann and Tony. They are celebrating their 5 year anniversary this year. Aren’t they fabulous?

And so happy to be celebrating 5 years!!!!

I love the romantic feel of this one:

We went to the Park Hyatt, which had a special meaning to them. It was one of the places they took photos at during their wedding and was also the location they met their pastor to plan their wedding day. Their hotel lobby is gorgeous!

They grabbed a quick drink at the bar…

Love, love, love this location. There were so many great spots!

The happy family Who thinks Charlotte needs a sibling?

Thanks Ann, Tony, and Charlotte – Justin and I had a great time catching up with you!
