Liz and Mike contacted me through Craigslist about wanting some pictures. They were looking for something intimate and romantic, and had never posed before. We started out in one of the balconies overlooking the Capitol Rotunda.
Then we moved into one of the upper floor hallways near the elevator
Then I changed the lighting so that they were backlit. These almost silhouettes really capture the feelings they share.
The Capitol was closing as we shot these last few so we headed to Edgewood Drive. Edgewood Drive follows the shore of Lake Wingra from Vilas Park to the opposite side of Edgewood College. Though I’ve been to the area many times (I drove through Vilas Park daily when I worked on Part Street) I had never explored this path. It’s definitely a place I’ll be returning to. If for no other reason than pictures like the ones below.
In the spirit of full disclosure, we did cheat a little. The leaves weren’t actually falling, Liz and Mike through them in the air, then quickly embraced.
