I had the pleasure of meeting Christy and Chad back in December and couldn't wait for Spring to come to get these two in front of the camera. I could tell right from seeing them together for the first time that they had such a strong admiration and love for one another. As soon as some last minute wardrobe decisions were made we were off to capture this exciting time in their lives together.
Being in downtown Rockford always provides me with such inspiration and positive energy. I was so glad that Christy and Chad were willing to take my recommendation on the location because I know what amazing backdrops downtown had to offer us. Below is one of the more popular spots for wedding and engagement photography, but no matter how many times I come back here I always walk away with a different, unique shot.

We walked along the river stopping at things that sparked our interest. It was a tad chilly out but they didn't seem to mind. We headed over to the trolly station and had a little fun on the tracks. Christy's love of Scrabble and Words with Friends lent itself to the picture on the left. I love that they choose "forever"...my personal favorite phrase I carry in my bag. Below is one of my favorite shots of the day, Christy looks so stunning! |

The trolly garage has this amazing door that I couldn't resist snagging a quick pic by. These two were up for anything and were willing to try any idea that I put out there - which I really had fun with!
We ended our afternoon of smiles, kisses and clicks over a tasty beverage at Carlyle Brewing Company (I can't resist their Vanilla Cream Ale). I loved being able to put down the camera and get to know them a little bit.
Over our beverage Chad shared that he has a passion about cooking and has hopes to be a chef. I personally love cooking...but even more than cooking...I love to eat! They were both telling me about some of the dishes Chad has made, and I found my stomach growling and mouth watering at just the descriptions of his food. Christy was his biggest fan and supporter, her compliments exemplifying her love for him. If he ever works in a restaurant, I can't wait to try his food.

Please join me in congratulating a truly remarkable couple on their engagement!
These two are some of the sweetest, kindest people I have had the pleasure to work with and I cannot wait to be behind the lens during their wedding...I just hope they don't make me cry :)
