All the pastels and lush greenery make me feel like we’ve been transported to some charming Southern town, like, oh say, Charleston. Don’t be fooled – we didn’t have to go far for these simple but picturesque backdrops for Jamie and Mike’s engagement shoot. Just an hour away from Chicago is downtown Geneva, a quaint suburban town with historical architecture and unique shops with quirky details. This adorable yellow bike was parked outside one business and we couldn’t resist playing with it a little – made the best prop, right? Couldn’t have planned it better myself.
Jamie and Mike are the sweetest couple. I’m shooting their upcoming wedding, and it was fun to get to know this couple before the big day. They are both naturals for the camera and so easy to work with, and you can tell they have a lot of fun together. It was 100 degrees this day, but that didn’t stop them from looking cool and collected. Don’t they look like they’re just taking a stroll through the park, stopping for a little dance… just the beginning of a beautiful life journey…
xo, Melissa
