Cecilie and James are Getting Married!: A Shoot at Sunrise

01.21.10

The setting of this shoot is a chilly October day, at the crack of dawn. I love early morning shoots because the light is absolutely amazing–it is my favorite light of the day! (I love it even more than my beloved just-before-sunset evening light.) But these types of shoots are more rare because not everyone is brave enough to schedule a shoot in the early hours of the morning. Cecilie and James were, even when our Midwest weather was just starting to get really crispy…and oh, how I love and hold a special place in my heart for them because of this. We got countless images like this one…

and this one too…






We walked by some cornfields…


and hid in some corn as well.






Then we went to a few locations in Sycamore I’ve been eyeing for a while…


And here is a preview of my next post… Linus joined us a little later, and my, is he handsome!

Oh my…what a LOVELY shoot! Can I just say — and perhaps it’s because I’m being influenced as of late with the research I’m doing for my hubby and I’s Euro trip and having just seen a chick flick set in Ireland — that this couple has a Euro flair about them? Silly of me to say, but I mean it as the highest form of compliment! They are VERY striking! (third photo from my bottom, is it just me or does he have a little Chris Martin thing going? LOVE IT)

LOVE these!! Cecilie babysat for my nieces and daughter when they were wee little ones and we have always loved her and her family! Your shots as usual are absolutely incredible. I have a thing for cornfields so those were especially charming!!

Katie, these pictures are, as yours always tend to be, truly wonderful. Your eye for this is apt and makes everyone smile.
