Engaged: Jessica + Chris, Main Street St. Charles

Jessica + Chris were so natural in front of the camera. They were sooooo easy to work with.

They chose Main Street St. Charles as the place to do their session. They hang out here a lot, have favorite places to go, and live in the neighborhood. I couldn't think of a better choice for their session.

This shot below is one of my favorites. The light was AHHHHMAZING!!!!! And when it comes to photography, quality of light comes first...background and everything else is secondary. That's why when I'm doing a photoshoot with a couple, we don't have a specific location per se that we will take pictures at. I like to leave it organic....fluid....flexible. Ideally, we just walk around an area until we find some good light and that's the spot we start taking pictures.




LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot.



This set below might be too racy for a few dads with little girls...sorry Jessica's Dad. We did do some of the more traditional pictures too. Just having some fun here.





Jessica + Chris particular like this place....Riverside Sweets.
I hear the ice cream is super delicious!





They're sooo cute, aren't they?




Another favorite.








I love getting some motion and action in the images.
I think its important to include a few like this one below.


A little bit more serious.


And we got to include another important member of their family, Bear. He was very photogenic...very responsive to his name being called. Look how alert he looks.

Can't wait for your wedding next year. *
