Baylie & Conner - A Shedd Aquarium and Wrigleyville Chicago Engagement Session

May 29, 2019 in Engagement Session

Baylie and Conner are perfect together.

I met this lovely young couple on the shores of Lake Michigan just outside of Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium on a perfect day in May. What had started out as a gray, foggy day suddenly transformed into a glorious, cerulean and golden morning that couldn’t help but put you in a cuh-razy good mood.

I always try to get folks to just relax, enjoy and chat away as though I’m not there (not always an easy thing to achieve with a camera in your face!) at the beginning of my engagement sessions. When I half jokingly asked Conner to “whisper sweet nothings” in his beautiful fiance’s ear, he evidently muttered something hilarious as Baylie started laughing and basically kept it up for the next two hours (and she has such a gorgeous smile!).

I had so much fun running around the City with these crazy kids and am so excited for them as they plan their Indianapolis wedding scheduled for next year.

Congrats, you two! Thanks for allowing me to capture this amazing time in your lives <3!
