THIS. ENGAGEMENT. SESSION. WAS. EPIC. So, an engagement session on a cute turquoise boat in the Chicago River with an adorable couple equals the best Monday of my life and the craziest session I have ever photographed. Seriously... who wants to photograph on a boat in the Chicago River? I do! For real, though, check out these photos!
