FULLERTON BEACH CHICAGO ENGAGMENT PHOTOS: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: ROBBIE + LINDA

The irony...

There’s narrow windows of time for the weather & daylight to work together in such a way to spark magic: The “golden hour.” Well, ideally, Robbie + Linda weren't aiming for the golden hour, they were hoping for what I’d call the probably not gonna happen foggy 5. That 5 minute window just before the sun comes up and dissipates the fog. (And that’s if there’s to be sun.) Well, it ended up being possibly the foggiest day I’ve ever photographed in. Like I'd have to wipe my lens to even get a shot foggy. As in we looked drenched but it was purely from fog. It was kinda like winning the hoped request & weather reality jackpot! I’m still shocked it worked out, and I’m still stunned at how surreal it looked all around us. I've labeled it "winter Malibu." And in the words of Linda, "That's a vibe." Yes...Yes it is! And I'm here for it! I LOVED everything about our time together guys. So stoked for the wedding!!
