Studio Ostendo operates in multiple creative fields including photography, design, and education.
Nicole and Andrew looked at each other, surrounded by flowers as the sun set over the rose garden at Cantigny Park, and I couldn't help but think their engagement photos were straight out of a fairytale!
Nicole and Andrew met at work, but like any upstanding employee, Andrew waited to ask Nicole out until he no longer worked there. They started dating shortly after and have been together ever since! They are planning a summer country club wedding next year and we're so excited to photograph it!
We met for their engagement session on the most perfect summer evening. Not an ounce of humidity in the warm Chicago air and a light breeze made golden hour one of the most stunning we've had all summer! Nicole and Andrew got a jump start on wedding planning earlier this spring. When Kaleb and I had our first video call with them, we connected with them immediately! It was so fun to finally meet up for their session. Andrew made my night when just a few minutes into his session he said, "Wow! This is way more fun than I thought!"
Andrew and Nicole, we had so much fun exploring Cantigny Park with you! We love how your images capture the romance of this sweet season of life, and cannot wait to celebrate the two of you next year! 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.
