Along with romantic strolls along the beach, Erica and Alex showed off Purdue pride during their recent engagement session at Marquette Park Beach. I met them early in the morning on the mostly deserted shores of Lake Michigan near the Aquatorium.

The skyline of Chicago can be seen in the background of this engagement photo along Lake Michigan.

There was a faint haze in the sky, but we could still see the skyline of Chicago as we took images all along the sandy shores. The temperatures were cool, but invigorating and aside from the occasional jogger or dog walker we were all alone to take natural and romantic images.

Being so close to Marquette Park Pavilion, we made sure to visit the lagoon and it's wonderful bridge. The morning sun gave a burnt orange look to the brush and I loved capturing the rays as they shined upon the couple through the trees in the nearby park.

This Fall has turned out to be one of the busiest seasons ever for engagement photos. I've also found this time of year to be the busy for weddings as well, almost surpassing June. Many more Fall engagement sessions to appear here along with weddings.
