Marsha & James | 4-09-11 | Chicago, ILL
A friend of mine from high school and my softball team, gave my information to a co worker of his, saying I shoot people. Well I photograph people, ha. I started talking with Marsha a few months ago, and got all the i's dotted. So Marsha and I were both watching the weather as the week progressed. It was looking good, then it was looking bad, then good again, sandwiched between bad days. I woke up with sun and sun in the forecast! Great!
After a little traffic I met up with James and Marsha for the first time and dropped my car off. Nothing but sun as we headed towards Belmont Harbor. Halfway up Lake Shore we hit a fog.
We made do around Belmont Harbor with the fog, thinking 'there goes any photos with a skyline.'
That fog got brutal after returning to the car after the harbor.
Even with the fog, we decided to stop by the North Ave. bridge over Lake Shore.
An eerie fog was rising up from the softball fields.
Slightly bummed, we headed back to their apartment for a change of clothes. As we headed back to their place, the sun slowly began to pop out of the clouds. The clouds even began to disappear. Bright and sunny only half a mile from the Lake. Weird.
A quick discussion about their porch and getting a few photos with a skyline, or trying at least, and we were on the porch. A five foot fence stood around their 7 foot by 7 foot porch.
Just then Dwight popped his head up. "Hey do you guys want to take pictures with the best view of the city?" Well yes of course, we did. Dwight is working on the AC units for the building and takes us up to the rooftop of the building. Such an amazing view.
Once a few shots were taken up there, it was back to street level. The El train to where they got engaged.
Photographing in the city always adds a certain unpredictability to your shoot.
Pigeons...
James decided to reenact the proposal, minus snow blizzard.
Well we had to get back, those to love bugs had dinner reservations.
Good luck Marsha and James!!
Have a wonderful wedding in Kansas City!!

Here's a few from Baxter's last show. A west suburban punk band. I think this was summer '98.
