Alex and I went to high school together so I was absolutely thrilled when she reached out for me to capture her engagement photos! I love getting back in touch with old friends. We had a few ideas going back and forth on the perfect spot, originally we had planned on visiting Brookfield Zoo and an Arcade nearby, both places are special to her and Chris but Chicago weather had other plans for us. The weather forecast was looking ominous at a balmy negative 15 degrees so I decided that it was best to swap locations and head to the tropical world of the Garfield Park Conservatory. What a difference in temperature, the inside of the Conservatory was about 100 degrees warmer than the temperature outside. I was actually sweating during the shoot! We had a great time and created some really stunning images. The love between these two is so apparent, it gives me all the mushy feels. Below is a little sampling of our super fun session!
