Studio Ostendo operates in multiple creative fields including photography, design, and education.
We laughed together on the way from the Chicago Riverwalk to North Avenue Beach about how we both met in college. Adi and Andy had some classes together, and one in particular where he was a teaching assistant. It wasn't too long after the semester ended for their interest in one another to become too much to ignore, and they've been together ever since! After enduring a few years of long distance, they ended up together in Chicago, where they love trying to restaurants and going out together.
We found out as we stopped along the Riverwalk for their photos that Adi and Andy are already married! They eloped last year but have plans to celebrate again with family soon. The more we talked with Adi and Andy, the more we loved their story—from the start they've navigated their love story their own way. When we look at their images, we can see how calm they are together, how special Adi makes Andy feel, and how support from the other strengthens them both.
Andy and Adi, thanks for sharing your story with us as we captured some "engagement" photos for you! We felt so honored to capture this season of both living in the moment and looking forward to what's to come. Hugs, Becky & Kaleb.
Wedding photography is my heartbeat. For me, it holds the perfect tension between creativity and authenticity, observation and connection. In front of my camera clients transform to friends, and behind it you'll usually find me tearing up, cheering you on, or holding my breath because of the raw goodness of the moment at hand.
