I met Lauren and Dan at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Chicago’s Lincoln Park. They were very patient as we had to reschedule a few times while waiting for the lily pond to reopen during the coronavirus outbreak…
I met up with Haley and Sarah downtown at Cindy’s Rooftop for a drink before starting their engagement session. I’d been waiting to get to Maggie Daley Park and with the fall leaves changing, this was the perfect time. We started with a walk through park and found lots of great fall color. These two were all laughs and it made capturing real moments so much fun…
After getting rained out the day previously, I met Jody and Nikola on the Loyola University Chicago campus to start their engagement session. I’m so glad we decided to call off the shoot the day before. Partially because we ended up just hanging out and chatting over beers, but especially because we got a great Chicago twilight sky as we finished up their session downtown. But more about that later…
I met Catherine and Matt and their dog, Rocky, in Lincoln Park for their fall engagement photos. With a destination wedding in Michigan it was important to capture some of Chicago’s iconic skyline during their engagement session…
I met with Bridget and Patrick at the location where they shared dinner the night they got engaged – Marge’s Still. This little section of Old Town is a gem, with many buildings dating to the 1880s! After chatting over beers for a bit, we headed east toward the Lincoln Park…
I drove up to Northern Michigan (Glen Arbor, specifically) earlier this month to meet Melissa and Dirk. The little town of Glen Arbor is right on Lake Michigan’s Sleeping Bear Bay near the sand dunes. I’m so glad we rescheduled because the weather was perfect, or at least perfect for Michigan Winter Engagement session. We had a good amount of snow on the ground and it was warm enough that we could be outside for long enough to get some great stuff. Oh, and how amazing was the light!..
I met Andrea & Andrew at Hopcat, a great beer bar in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, to start their engagement session. Right away the bright red chairs inspired me to be on the lookout for more colorful fall Chicago engagement photos. I always love trying to work Chicago’s bright and vibrant colors into my photos but fall colors make that task a bit easier…
I love shooting Lincoln Park engagement photos. Lincoln Park is clearly one of Chicago’s most popular engagement photo locations because there’s just so many different possibilities in the area. Jessica and Jared wanted to start with a mini “family” session with their pups. Thankfully Jessica’s mom was along to help manage the treats and keep their attention…
I’ve been waiting for a chance to shoot Northerly Island engagement photos, so I was excited when Chelsea and Kevin wanted to do their engagement on museum campus. The two locations are right next to each other but offer totally different photo opportunities. With its rocks, tall grasses and other natural areas Northerly Island hardly feels like Chicago at all, and with just a short walk you have the most iconic skyline view in the city…
Brenna and Reuben started their North Avenue Beach Engagement Photos at Old Town Social. Both Brenna and Reuben grew up in the neighborhood, so it was a perfect place to get a drink and catch up for a bit before we started shooting. Old Town Social had a great little spot with exposed brick, a fireplace and some nice window light…
