So recently Rockford IL was ranked as the ninth most dangerous city in America. While Rockford has seen better times, downtown Rockford somehow gets lumped together as being overtly dangerous. Far from it. It may be the location I grew up at, it may be the amount of time I have spent downtown but it really gets to me when people say downtown is something it is not. So when Cassie and Jon said they wanted to shoot their engagement session downtown, I jumped at the chance! So we somehow managed to avoid all the horrible things that supposedly take place downtown, had a blast just walking and enjoying the area and took some pretty rocking photographs. Oh wait, we did get attacked…
by sprinklers.
twice.
😀 Enjoy the photographs!
