How was I lucky enough to photograph these two in Chicago? Well, even though they will be getting married in Toledo this November, they wanted to have their engagements taken where they met, and also where Thomas is from. I can’t say enough positive things about this couple. I have known Mercedes since we shared 7th grade Science together, but it was the first time I had met Thomas, and once we finished up the rainy afternoon in Chicago, it was easy to see how well they compliment eachother. Thomas pulled off the GQ look so well, but could make Mercedes laugh so easily anytime he needed to…and Mercedes, you are not only smart, you are gorgeous. I loved spending time with you both and talking between shooting. I’m already looking forward to November!
Wait, did you take ANY pictures of the two of us looking at the camera? I did!
Surprise. The best thing was that their were arrangements for her best friend to drive in from Cleveland to pamper her and help her choose an outfit before the ‘picnic’. Everything that was put into this special shoot was so thoughtful, and Shacara, you radiate beauty in every single picture. Your happiness melts off of these, and Marcus’ affection for you is so clear. I’m so glad that I met you both!
