LAKE MICHIGAN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS: CHICAGO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: CAMERON + EMILY

Perspective is everything…

Whether you choose to see something half empty or half full, from this angle or that, our circumstances and quite literally perhaps the most important “aspect” of my job is: perspective. Seeing things from an angle that other's may not.

It was a blazing hot night. Heat advisories in full effect. I thought for sure we’d have the beach to ourselves. Nope. We had to park a mile down the way and even still the amount of people were seemingly equaled to the number of stones on the shore. It was packed! I so wish I got a photo of what we actually were seeing that night. Just kinda end of summer chaos.

People and stuff were absolutely everywhere. So we claimed our boulder and from there it’s a matter of perspective. By then we were on plan like D the engagement shoot but if I could get them to tune the world around them out for just a bit, I could capture it from a perspective to make it look like our 5 feet of space felt endless Sure, go in with a hopes for plan, but keep the perspective of what it’s about: creating and capturing memories. You be in the moment, I’ll be on the pictures!
