Springtime Chicago Engagement Sessions
Yesterday we had a blast in Chicago with magnificent weather
for our two engagement shoots. We
started the day navigating around the Shamrock Shuffle 8K race to make our way
to the lake. The couple had requested skyline pictures by the water---and this
place certainly fit the bill. I couldn’t
wait to get there so that we could set up a time-lapse scene of the water and
skyline. I am not sure exactly what I will do with the footage---but we love
doing this stuff. So yay, Brenton got the
time-lapse all set up and running while I took a walk about for inspiration
before the shoot. I can’t tell you how
nice it was to be by the water and feel the sun warming your skin with a soft
breeze----all with the bumping music in the distance from the Shamrock Shuffle J
Lisa and Luke (our first couple) came with all smiles and
were ready for a great time. They came
prepared with sunglasses, light jackets, and lots of love that was a pleasure
to photograph. We all soaked up some
sun---and took some dynamite pictures too J We can’t wait for their wedding!
Next we were off to the Old Water Tower to meet Kristina and
Sim. These two were so sweet and fun,
and let me tell you---I’d say that Kristina is up for anything J A wardrobe change in the middle of downtown
Chicago was no-problemo. LOL well she did have an undershirt on, but it
was just so funny that she was already halfway changed before I could even ask
if we needed to go to a more private spot.
The Water Tower place was special to them since this is where Sim
proposed. We walked around the corner
for some additional pictures in a courtyard and others in a brick alley. This couple is going to be so much fun at
their wedding in May!
Brenton and I had a wonderful day in Chicago. We couldn’t have asked for better weather or
a better time with our two couples. Can’t
wait to show you all the pictures J
