Most of my couples start off engagement sessions by saying they’re not photogenic. Some even warn me during consults. Rachel & Phil thought they weren’t photogenic. Um. They lied. Obviously.

All joking aside, I want to thank Rachel & Phil for trusting me on the locations. Alleys and underpasses aren’t the typical engagement session locations, but I love doing something a little out of the ordinary. Also, since we were in the area, Rachel introduced me to the amazing Jefferson St. bridge… and now I want to shoot on it all the time. Sorry, Kinzie St. bridge, you have nothing on the Jefferson St. bridge.
