Evanston Engagement Photography Session – Adelaide & Michael

I had a great session with Adelaide and Michael in downtown Evanston, IL. Adelaide and I were on the same summer missions team a handful of years ago when we visited Thailand and Myanmar (formerly Burma). She was also a bridesmaid at a wedding I shot last year!

I can’t wait to shoot her wedding this upcoming weekend, but until then, here are some shots from our downtown Evanston engagement session!

The light was fading fast, so we had to take advantage of it while it was still around-





We took a break from shooting at had another awesome meal at Joy Yee’s Restaurant before heading out to the streets for some night shots! (my favorite dish there is the sesame chicken) The streets of Evanston had enough light for us to capture some cool shots.






Some good times with Red Mango yogurt. I love all the different berries you can mix into your fro-yo – it not only tastes good, but looks so pretty, you almost don’t want to eat it!
