Downtown Chicago Lincoln Park Engagement Session

Well it was a wild year, and I have so much blogging to catch up on but I figured why not kick it off with the amazing engagement session I did earlier this year with Nena and Gabe. They were so excited to have the engagement city in Chicago and hit some iconic spots and we had such a great time around South Pond and the lakefront on this perfect November day! Chicago engagement sessions are so much fun since there is just so much variety you can capture in a relatively small area! Take a peek at some of my favorites from their day. I can’t wait to celebrate their wedding with them this August.

Chicago Nature Boardwalk Engagement Session

Alison and Blake decided on Lincoln Park for their engagement session. We really wanted to highlight Chicago in their session since after their wedding they will be moving! We started around South Pond which they had never explored before. We then head to the honeycomb to check that out and since it was a weeknight we almost had the place to ourselves. Then it was time to walk over to North Ave. I have always loved the pedway bridge and we took a few images up there too. We finished the night off right off the lakeshore path.

South Pond Post Wedding Session

I am so happy to share with you images from my recent shoot with Francisco and Jonathan. I photographed their elegant Chicago wedding this past January and was so excited to catch up with them and photograph their post wedding session. We tried to book this shoot twice before but rain and a heat wave made us move our session back. The third time was the charm and we had the most amazing weather and had South Pond and the Lily Pond practically to ourselves. We ended the shoot and I caught a few shots of them driving away on their scooter. What a perfect ending to our shoot!

Lily Pond Engagement Shoot of Madeline + Craig

I met with Madeline and Craig this past Wednesday for their engagement shoot in my favorite spot in the city, South Pond. We could not have asked for a better night and we practically had the park to ourselves. All of the trees were in full bloom with flowers and the skyline from the kissing bridge was perfection. Madeline and Craig are high school sweethearts and have been dating for over 8 years. They will be getting married in Louisville. How sweet is that? They will be getting married on January 21, 2017 at St. Boniface, with their reception at The Brown Hotel in Louisville, their hometown! Enjoy the images from their session below.

South Pond Engagement Photos

I was so excited to meet with Zuri and Alex for the engagement shoot at South Pond this past week. We looked at the weather report and decided on an unusually warm looking monday. What we didn't predict is that the temperature would drop to bellow freezing and it would be snowing by the end of their session. Alex, Zuri, and their two dogs were troopers though and we had an amazing shoot with the Chicago Skyline and the Honeycomb as amazing backdrops to their city engagement shoot. I can't wait to photograph their wedding on September 3rd, 2016!
