Photo Shoot at Montrose Beach & Bird Sanctuary

No downtown Chicago photo session for these two! That's what photographer Emily Alt had to say about Christine and Forest ... "a dynamic couple with loud laughs, dry wit and fabulous style!" Christine and Forest know who they are as a couple and what they wanted for their engagement session. Since they're getting married this summer on a semi-rustic farm, Christine wanted something in line with a romantic, quiet wedding--and not downtown. So, Christine and Forest met Emily on a spring afternoon {albeit a very blustery afternoon} for some shots on Chicago's Montrose Beach and at the Montrose Bird Sanctuary. With the beach to themselves and a few DIY Geronimo balloons, they had a wonderful afternoon goofing around and putting their love to pictures.

Thanks to Christine, Forest and Emily for sharing this fun day with us! Congrats!
