Rachel and Corey's engagement

When Rachel and I first met and were talking about a potential engagement shoot, she didn't think Corey would want to do one. So I had the idea to make it more fun-- to start out at a bar with some cocktails. We found out that the first bar we were considering didn't open up until 5pm, and we wanted to start at 4pm. This actually worked out in our favor because plan B was to begin at Bar Bianco (next to Pizzeria Bianco). This bar is small but full of character, and it is right next to Herritage Square Park and the Science Center (where we wanted to shoot.) Starting with a cocktail each relaxed them for the portraits. I think I have stumbled onto something here-- I am going to suggest this to others.

Had a great time chatting with and shooting Rachel and Corey. Their wedding this spring will be a pleasure as well!
