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 up with Christie and Garrett in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood for their downtown Chicago engagement session. Our shoot began with a stop at Mariano Park, which is a place that they both enjoy. The park is a small triangle patch where Rush street meets State Street. From there we walked south down Michigan Avenue toward the River. Chicago Riverwalk engagement photos are one of the most popular locations in the city for a Chicago engagement session…
It’s been a while since I shot Millennium Park engagement photos, so I was excited when Rachel and Nish suggested that as our first location. We met up at Miller’s Pub for beers before we started shooting. I always like to start off with drinks, but especially when I’m meeting a couple for the first time as Rachel and Nish were in from Milwaukee…
I was so excited when Jillian and Jake contacted me about their wedding. Jillian’s sister Celina, (and her husband Eddie) were one of my all-time favorite couples to work with and they continue to send me more awesome couples…
I met Kara & Matt downtown at Miller’s Pub before our downtown Chicago engagement session. Our first stop was Asado Coffee Shop at 22 E. Jackson, which was off my radar until Kara suggested it. It was a perfect way to kick off the evening…
Johnna and Bryce suggested Wilde Bar & Restaurant as the first stop for their Lincoln Park engagement session. After cocktails at Wilde, we headed to the pond near Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The trees had just started to come back to life, and things in the park are actually green. I’ve shot all over Lincoln Park but we managed to find a small hill with some nice light…
