A quintessential downtown Chicago photo shoot for Jason and Jessica – the future Mr. & Mrs. Betke. Although I was kind of rushed for time that day, it ended up being a lot of fun! Thanks for letting me take your pictures, and I can’t wait to share the big day with you both!
Since I made everyone wait so long for this second installment of Chicago Beauty, I’ll give you two for the price of one. The previous post in this series describes my intention for posting these images. The sky was a wonderful painting of many colors that evening, and I couldn’t have been in a better location to observe it. I’ll have another couple images coming your way in tomorrow night’s post. And I promise to actually post them tomorrow night. In the mean time, enjoy these images, leave a comment, and share with others using Facebook and Twitter!

Nothing quite compares to a beautiful sunset over the Chicago skyline – a light breeze blowing in off the lake while the seagulls caw overhead. Summer is coming back to Chicago, and this will be the first year that I won’t be there to appreciate it since 1988. I hope this helps YOU appreciate it and anticipate it even more. This week, I’ll be posting more pictures that I took on this same evening. If you want to cheat, you can check out my Flickr page. I’d give you the link, but I don’t want you to cheat. I want you to come back to my blog later this week.
