[Sarah & Luke- Engagement Session]-Chicago Engagement Photographers- Continuum Photography

Continuum Photography — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:08:47 +0000

Engagement shoots usually start off a bit awkward as most aren’t used to 1) being photographed, 2) PDA, and 3) me trying to provide occasional vague instructions. So it’s always a joy to work with a couple who right off the bat just seems to be relaxed and at ease with the camera. Their session started off with some light rain, which had been going off and on all day. We had decided after one indoor stop to just go for it… I mean there is a certain romantic element to rain right? Well as luck would have it the weather cleared up and we went about our business. I’m not sure if it was the anticipation of a wet day that led to the finale in the Crown Fountain, or that I was just that persuasive when I said, “hey it’d be a cool shot if you guys stood in front of the water spray.” I mean really, I wasn’t expecting that level of adventure out of anyone. Needless to say it indeed was a pretty cool series of shots. Good thing our loft is close by and our dryer fully operational. I can only imagine what kind of trouble we are going to get into next Saturday. Water slides? Super soakers? Fire hoses? We’ll see you guys in a few days!

We’ve got Matt(s), we’ve got tie adjustment, groomsmen in Walgreens trying on hip sunglasses, guys getting airborne at Millennium Park, AWESOME FIRST LOOKS, portable bride air conditioning, and the best… candid hand kisses.

On Saturday we photographed Becky and Matt’s wedding and it was an absolute blur of love, beauty, and excitement. We’ll be posting pictures from their event soon. But we can’t jump the gun… we have to show off some of their engagement photos first. Josh took Becky and Matt for a walk downtown a couple weeks ago. They are young Chicago professionals and I think these photos represent what it’s like to live here as a couple on daily basis with the hustle and bustle of a busy city. Hope you enjoy!

Chicago Cultural Center Wedding Portraits of Bride & Groom | Micki & Jared, Pt. 4

Continuum Photography — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 04:27:57 +0000

Here are some of our favorite portraits of the bride & groom taken on the Chicago Cultural Center’s grand staircases and outside at Millennium Park amongst the fall colored leaves. We also took a few bridal party photos on Michigan Avenue.

One of our favorites from the day, that really shows of the intricacies of Micki’s dress was this photo of our couple walking down the stairs.

Nothing beats that first look.

The pause at the landing.

Melissa captures the over the shoulder look.

It was quite the fall bouquet.

Now here’s one for the memory files… So as we were shooting some of these outdoor portraits Jesse was inspired to propose on the spot to Nicole. Micki was nice enough to lend her bouquet for a practice shot!

Fall colors seem more brief each year, but when you find them they are spectacular.

He just had to be in this one!

Jared assists with the bustle.

Traffic stoppin’.

Fancy shoes!

Aww, sisters.

Micki looked beautiful!

We took Lauren & Nic’s Engagement photos in Chicago’s Lurie Garden in Millennium Park. The same place where Nic proposed to Lauren! We love these two! They are a fun couple who are a blast to spend time with. Hope you enjoy some of our favorite photos from their downtown Chicago engagement session.

This is the proposal spot!
