Miller Park Bloomington Engagement Session | Emily and Mike

December 7, 2009

Engagement Photography Session at Miller Park – Bloomington, Illinois
Post by David – Cathy and David Photographers

A little back story is necessary for this engagement session. If you’ve read our blogs before or know me very well, you’ll know that I’m from Bloomington, Illinois (a story I always find amusing since we live in Bloomington, Indiana). My parents run Herrin Animal Hospital (well, they are retiring in about 20 days or so and we’ve got their retirement party coming up soon in a blog entry!) and I lived in Bloomington for most of my childhood. A while back I started finding people I went to high school with on facebook. One of them was Emily, who I went to school with since I was no taller than a yard stick. She’d started following our blog and loved our photos and when she got engaged we were so excited when she contacted us about her wedding.

Well a little while back we met up with her and her super-nice fiance, Mike, in my hometown and went to Miller Park, a regular childhood destination for me. It turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous day surrounded by days of yuck. We totally lucked out.Anyways, backstory and location aside, on with the photos!

I loved the sunlight shining off the water in this shot.

LOVE!

Did I mention what a beautiful day it was?

So Emily and.. well… Okay, Mike is a HUGE White Sox fan. Emily likes supporting his love.

Miller Lake was absolutely pristine that day. Barely a ripple.

We were also graced with one of the prettiest sunsets I’ve seen in a long time.

We absolutely loved shooting this session. The beautiful day, and the flashbacks to high school were wonderful. We cannot wait to shoot Emily and Mike’s wedding next year!

Thanks for reading! – David.

Beautiful! What a great sunset. Congrats again.

Truly amazing pictures…..and by the way, I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe that it was meant for you to photograph Emily’s wedding,I’m pretty sure Emily feels that way too. Evidence is in the fact that the day was a “gorgeous day surrounded by days of yuck”. Nope, not a coincidence!!

I just love it when you guys have to come to Bloomington, IL to do engagement sessions and weddings. Hopefully, you’ll get more and you’ll want to move back home. I absolutely loved all the photos, especially the one under the Love, the reflection picture and the sunset picture. Fabulous job!!!!!!!
Love you! Mom
