10-15-16 Frances & Nick Engagement Session

I met with Frances in downtown at their building. Nick went to get the truck. Frances was very kind and easy to talk to. We talked about the pictures and gave her ideas on what we can do. Frances is getting married in Mexico, so she wants to show Chicago in her pictures. This was very important. This job I got through Complete as well, grateful I can use the pictures on my site. 🙂

We headed off to the Kinzie bridge by the Chicago River. This is a favorite spot for weddings and couples to take pictures. That day, it was a great day! Not cold, the sun was hidden in the clouds, which is better for me because I don’t have direct sunlight hitting the bride or groom-to-be.

We then headed off to Lincoln Park Zoo, which I have yet to visit the zoo itself, and if I went, it had to be when I was a kid because I don’t remember…This is another great spot to take pictures at. It was a Saturday so there were plenty of weddings happening that day.

This was the main spot she wanted. There were wedding couples waiting and we were waiting to take pictures as well. I was able to do a few things with them there. 🙂

The second to final spot we went to the small pond.
