Max & Marlee {Chicago Millennium Park Proposal}

He called me and told me that he wanted to plan a special day for the love of his life. I curled up in my chair and listened as Max had told me what he wanted to do to propose to his girlfriend Marlee. We talked on the phone and half the conversation was in code as she was in the apt with him as he asked me for my advise. Since they had a group of friends and family who wanted to also be involved - we made sure the timing of the day was on point and that each and every turn was a special surprise for her. I drew a diagram to let Max know where he should walk and stand to get the city of Chicago in the background as well as where I would be so that Marlee wouldn’t see me. On a gorgeous afternoon in Millennium Park I waited to spot a couple all in love. Thankfully I looked them up on FB so I had an idea of who I was capturing. Max was a gentleman and lead his girl through the garden and talked to her with ease. He was cool calm and collected when he got down on one knee, I popped out of a hedge and captured the proposal and their blissful emotions from laughs to tears. We walked around the riverwalk and made our way over the State street Bridge to a decorated room where Marlee’s best friends and family were waiting with bated breath. Max’s sister, father and mother couldn’t wait to hug him and of course their new family member and share their joy and their light. Thank you Max for trusting me and being such a super star through out the process.
