Brainard Lake Engagement | Hillary & Sean
Brainard Lake’s paved road that leads all the way to the water was still closed for the season. So we got the pleasure of being led by Madison (a sweet pup) the two miles down to the lake. The hike seemed to turn most people away, as we did not see many others along the way. So we had the entire place to ourselves, and it felt like we had our own little private slice of heaven! We caught magic hour just right and even got specular color during sunset. Madison added a welcome spark of energy and pure joy to our shoot as well. Hillary and Sean’s Brainard Lake engagement shoot was a blast!
Hillary and Sean’s outfit changes freshened things up as well. It never hurts to bring along a couple changes of clothes depending on what type of colors appear throughout our shoot. The temperatures can also change in a hurry at higher elevations so it is nice to have layers and/or water resistant coats or jackets. Hillary and Sean were really prepared and completely brought their A-game! They even had changes of shoes, which is a really nice touch. Even if the terrain doesn’t warrant hiking boots per se, trails can certainly be wet and muddy at any given time. We also loved that at one point, they ditched their shoes altogether because that’s just what felt right!
Hillary and Sean, we had a blast with you two on your Brainard Lake engagement shoot! We couldn’t have asked for better company on our four mile hike! We know your wedding in Chicago tomorrow is going to be amazing, and we will be thinking about you on your big day. Your photographers are so lucky to have the opportunity to photograph such an eclectic mix of love and art. Congratulations, and have the best time ever! Cheers!
