From Melissa Hayes Photography Sometimes things just fall into place effortlessly. Our engagement session with Jen & Eric was just that… effortless.  When it came time for their wedding, I wasn’t surprised how well the day turned out… more specifically the candid session and group photos.  Though I have to confess, I did do some scouting for locations earlier in the week, but no matter how much you plan things may or may not turn out the way you envisioned.  As we made our way out for group photos, I told Jen & Eric of this spot that I had picked out… an old Chicago Firehouse.  To my surprise, I quickly learned that both Jen & Eric have family members that are firemen which made the location all the better.  Its definitely going into my book of favorite photos!
