The first shoot in Chicago went great! This was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting Brett and Steve. Their wonderful planner hired me (Brett’s Mom), through the recommendation of Jaime Snyder at the Montage. The wedding should be awesome so check back for those in November! Anyway, we started the day with lunch at the yacht club off of Monroe and Lake Shore Drive. Steve sails almost every weekend and competes in Regatta races throughout the summer. For this particular engagement shoot we tried to avoid some of the major photo locations like Millennium Park and the Observatory skyline view. Their personality called for a little more urban atmosphere. We hit the Fulton meat packing district, Bucktown, and an “L” stop. Check it out…

I couldn’t resist shooting this after the guys shouted from down the street, “I’m here, I’m here…” He’s there, there he is!
