When I discussed engagement photos with Rachel and Dustin, I encouraged them to pick a location that would best portray who they are. As people who enjoy the outdoors and nature, they chose Lemon Lake Park in Crown Point. We took these images on a windy October day hoping for Autumn colors and boy, did we ever get them. When I arrived at the spacious Lake County park, I immediately noticed the deep orange leaves on a nearby tree.

We broke out the fishing poles for a few shots and Rachel joked that it would be funny if they actually caught a fish during the shoot. No fish took the bait, perhaps next time.

Nothing beats a lazy afternoon in the park....

I'm one of those photographers whose a bit of an instigator so I encouarged this leaf fight while staying out of harms way. I'm not sure who won here although I think Dustin got the brunt of it...

I love taking these fun photos of couples, but I also enjoy the romantic images too...

Lemon Lake Park is so vast and we were able to get many different types of scenes ranging from the open sky to a kissing spree deep in the heart of the woods.

We ended our day at the playground where we caught Rachel off guard when the swing decided to take a sudden dip!!

For me, it was an incredibly fun session and I think it was for Rachel and Dustin as well . These are just a few of the many images taken at Lemon Lake Park. Stay tuned here and the Region Weddings Facebook Page for more images.
