The U.S. Civil War - A Reenactment (Wauconda, IL)

​Had the opportunity to shoot a Civil War reenactment event on Sunday in Wauconda, IL. It was my first time working this type of a scene and I was pleasantly surprised at how well things went.

I've always liked history, but being able to see in "real life" what some of those scenes and moments would have looked like, plus being able to interact and talk with some of the characters, have them answer my questions and simply hang out, was just fantastic. I had such a great time.

If you've never attended one of these events, I strongly suggest you check one out if the opportunity presents itself. It's educational, fun and well worth your time.

Here are a handful of images from the day and a link here →  https://mariosalazarphotography.smugmug.com/Civil-War-Reen…/ with more of the images I made that day. I hope I was able to do them justice and that you like them.
Have a great day everyone!
