Erin + Greg | Chicago Engagement Photography

If you are keeping up with things around here, which I’m sure you are … (wink!) you might have noticed we just got back from taking a road trip to Chicago where we were lucky enough to photograph two of our adorable 2013 couples! Starting with Chelsea + Jim in the West Loop and the following day with Erin + Greg just outside of the Lincoln Park Zoo. En route to the location from the hotel, I noticed this little ‘cove’ on Lake Michigan where the beautiful sparkly water and skyline view looked soooo pretty… little did I know that the wind gusts and overspray from the lake would practically blow us over. And not to mention it was freezing cold there! One point Mother Nature, photographer zero. I seriously wrapped up the scenic spot in about 2 minutes, and judging by their expressions and hair, they were ready for a new spot too. ha! It just goes to show you that you have to shoot in a location where both the photographer and the client are happy + comfortable! 😉

So, we made our way inland – right outside the entrance of the zoo where it made for a cozy little spot to shoot… and it felt at least 30 degrees warmer … and we were all much happier. Erin with her gorgeously long skinny legs, and Greg with his cute smile, it’s no wonder they were so easy to photograph. Oooooh the joys of being in love and the moments leading up to a wedding. I just love it!

Enjoy!
