A Magical Engagement Session with Silvia and Saul at Cantigny Park, Wheaton, IL
A few weeks ago, Sal and I had the pleasure of capturing Silvia and Saul's engagement session at the beautiful Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL. From the moment we met them, we could tell that this session was going to be something special. Both Silvia and Saul chose black outfits, with Silvia looking stunning in a black dress that added a touch of elegance to the vibrant setting.
The weather that day was hot and sunny, with scattered clouds that provided us with a wonderful variety of lighting. The bright sunlight allowed us to play with shadows and highlights, making each shot unique.
Cantigny Park is known for its iconic yellow chairs, and naturally, Silvia wanted to include them in the session. We took some lovely shots with then seated on one of these famous chairs, which added a pop of color against their black outfits.
However, my favorite spot during the session was a trellis adorned with green vines and twinkle lights. It felt like we had stepped into a fairyland. There's something magical about twinkle lights—the way they create a dreamy bokeh effect, making the background feel alive with soft, glowing orbs of light. It was in this spot that I captured some of my favorite images of the day. The combination of the vines, lights, and this sweet couple made the moment feel like a scene from a storybook.
Even though this was our first time meeting Silvia and Saul, it felt like we had known each other for ages. They were so easy-going, making the session flow effortlessly. The love and connection between them were evident in every shot, and I can't wait to capture more of their journey together when they tie the knot next month.
As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the park, we wrapped up the session with a few final shots. Looking back, it's clear that Cantigny Park, with its blend of natural beauty and charming features, was the perfect backdrop for Silvia and Saul's engagement session.
