As a photographer, there’s always an element of excitement and unpredictability in every shoot. I was particularly thrilled to meet up with Carolyn and Tommy for their engagement session. We had envisioned an elegant, urban backdrop along the Chicago River to capture their love story. However, as the clock inched closer to our session time, the radar was looking more and more concerning.
Despite the iffy weather, we decided to go ahead with our plans. A slight haze graced downtown Chicago, creating a soft, romantic atmosphere perfect for their photos. As we began the session, the city’s iconic cityscape provided a stunning backdrop, adding to the magic of the moment.
But mother nature had her own plans. Mid-session, the skies opened up, and a downpour began. Instead of letting the rain dampen their spirits, Carolyn and Tommy embraced the weather, turning it into their own ‘Notebook’ moment. They laughed, danced, and kissed in the rain, their love shining brighter than any sunshine.
Capturing these candid, joyful moments was truly special. The rain added a unique, dramatic flair to their photos, making their engagement session unforgettable. Carolyn and Tommy’s willingness to embrace the unexpected turned what could have been a challenge into a beautiful, memorable experience.
