Maricel Cruz Photography Chicagoland Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Have you ever walked the Chicago Riverwalk? If you haven’t, it’s definitely something you should explore. Karla & John live off the river so they asked if we could take the Esession photos along the Riverwalk. It was a beautiful day, perfect weather if you ask me (cloudy and high 60’s, yes please).

We started on the north end of the Riverwalk and walked over to the Kinzie Bridge. This bridge seems to be a hot spot for photos, but to me this is the bridge I crossed 4 days a week when I parked by Blommer’s Chocolate Factory to get to school. After the bridge photos, we walked around the corner to get some train shots. We had pretty good timing cause a train passed by while we were there and we managed to get that shot. Karla & John were so much fun to work with, we laughed and had a great time exploring the beautiful Riverwalk. I look forward to their Galena Wedding this Friday!

Here are some photos from their Esession!

I love shooting engagement sessions. Most couples have never had professional photos taken, together. There is always a little awkwardness and I love seeing how it eventually goes away and love takes over.

That’s pretty much how this session started. We went to North Park Village Nature Center for their session. We took a couple of family photos for a quick warm up and then we started their session. Iveliz was a little nervous, but once I told them to enjoy each other they almost forgot I was there!

Here are just a few samples from their session that day. You can definitely feel the love…
