The Chicago Field Museum is one of their favorite places to explore together, so I thought it would be fun to shoot there!! I was definitely in for a challenge when it came to lighting in the exhibits- especially because I wanted to be respectful by not flashing the heck out of everyone else that was there. We still came away with some really fun and interesting shots and I looooved getting to know Kat & Dave better in such an exploratory environment!

Right off the bat, I could tell that they love to have fun together. Kat - outgoing and adventurous, and Dave - reserved and practical... together, they strike the perfect balance. ;-)

They crack me up!! This makes me think of the song... "Woah-oh here she comes, watch out boy she'll chew you up..."

Yet another take on the Chicago skyline! I bet I've photographed the Chicago skyline from almost every spot possible by now!! It never gets old to me. I love city skylines. ;-) I also love people in love and I can't wait for their wedding.. it's going to be amazing!!!

  1. These are great, especially the ones in the low light. I would love to know the EXIF of the shots in the museum. I'm trying to learn to shoot in manual.

  3. AMAZING as usual Anne! Did you have to get permission to shoot in the museum, or did you just play it cool? I have wanted to shoot in the Science & Industry Museum but I never got an answer as to how they felt about doing portraits in there.

  4. Mark -lots of high ISO and slow shutter speed!

    Monica - We didn't run into any problems, usually they'll let you know at the door if they have a problem with your "big camera". I did it without flash in order to not make a production out of it.
