CHICAGO ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS: MILTON LEE OLIVE PARK: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: BRYAN + CORRIE

Good ole' Forest Gump would say: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." (Random fact about me, I made it far into the auditions to be the child Jenny in the movie.) Well, you may not know what life will give, but you sure as heck know that Chicago in the summer means it's gonna give you a traffic! Lots and lots of traffic. Took just shy of 2.5 hours to get to the city and even though these two also were in traffic galore, I roll up, and they are totally unfazed, happy to be there. It's not easy for a couple to jump into engagement photos, especially after the long drive, but they totally did. An attribute that surely will help them along the adventures that is wedding planning, the wedding day, and really, everyday thereafter.

Bryan + Corrie, you made the drive worth it. The next time capturing you guys on a beach will be for your wedding!! Can't wait!
