That's right, that says "New York City" up there!  Ever since I was little, it was a dream of mine to live in New York City.  Up until I actually graduated high school and started making some big life decisions, I thought I would always move to New York someday.  That didn't happen, lucky for all you Chicago area peeps!!! :)  I never made it to New York, not even for a visit -- until SherryAnn & Ben came along!  They moved there a couple years ago from this area and fell in love with the Big Apple, and they wanted to show me why.  I have to say, I have never had a better time visiting a new place before for such a short time (only 1 day!)!  My trusty sidekick (my husband Brad) tagged along to help shoot their engagement photos, and we got to have a mini-tour of this beautiful, historic & romantic place that is full of life and energy and an almost wisdom that floats through the air.  It was so fun to see and photograph a different skyline (although I love Chicago's, of course!).  TODAY is SherryAnn & Ben's wedding day in Chicago, actually, and I can't wait to see these two celebrate their marriage for the first time!
