Ericka and Kyle are getting married at the Starline Factory in Harvard, IL  This historic building takes up 5 blocks and the reception portion of the building will hold around 500 or more guests.  The rustic and charming nature of the converted warehouse looks like a great place to host a wedding. We decided to shoot Ericka and Kyle's engagement portrats in this building and it made for a wonderful new location to shoot!  With large windows the natural light is incredible!

I love doing the clone shot technique.  With all the natural light at the Starline this was pretty easy to pull off.  I love the second shot of Ericka preparing to jump!

Another benefit of shooting indoor engagements was the ability to use a softbox on a tripod.  I love the look of this shot.
