Japan to Chicago: Risa & Kohei’s Pre-Wedding Adventure
Six months ago, Risa and Kohei traveled all the way from Japan for their Chicago destination pre-wedding photos. Kohei’s brother lives in the area, so they decided to tie in a family visit as well! This was their first time in our city, and as you’ll see: we had a blast!! Perfectly coordinated, they arrived dressed to the nines and ready to hit the town. Personally, I’m a big fan of Risa’s red dress (she pulled it off flawlessly!).
When we first met, Kohei handed me a good luck charm they’d brought from Japan. It was a gift! For me!! I was so humbled and excited, I knew this was going to be good 🙂 Though we weren’t fluent in each other’s languages, our session was surprisingly not affected. There’s something so universal about body language and other forms of communication – it’s an experience I’ll never forget! We “played tourist” all afternoon, visiting some of the city’s most iconic locations. Finishing at sunset with a view of the skyline was a must.
Risa and Kohei: I cannot thank you enough for inviting me to capture your time in Chicago! I loved meeting you both and had so much fun exploring the city together. Best wishes for your wedding in Japan this spring!!
