I was nervous, like really nervous about taking Melanie and Tim’s pictures. It’s not every day (or ever) that I get an e-mail from a couple with a full on theme for their engagement session. It was obvious when they walked up that they were more than excited for the shoot. Melanie was sporting a 1940′s hair do from a salon in town. Tim had a shiny swiss pocket watch which gleamed in the sun. I loved finding out that they sought out their outfits on e-bay, at Kohl’s, Goodwill and a few other locations in order to find just the right look. As they described their black and white, chicago wedding this January, the shoot became even more exciting. Can’t you just see it! Well, I guess you could if I would go ahead and show you the photos. So, enjoy!
Oh yes, I should mention that I’ve done some vintage editing on these photos to go with their theme. I loved using my new Totally Rad Actions!
Her engagement ring was so unique! He custom designed it with a jeweler in Israel. Shortly after, he marched up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and proposed to her! Yeah, it’s true.
I’m sure you can imagine my excitement to shoot at the top of the City Market Lofts.
Congratulations guys! I’m sure you’ll have a beautiful wedding. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of celebrating with you! Sabrena
