Kayla & Roger - Engagement Session - Chicago

Chicago engagement sessions were in high demand last year. I was NOT complaining. I mean the drive kinda sucks some days (I hate, no, I LOATHE traffic). Kayla & Roger had their October wedding last year, those photos are to come, but wow. They ROCKED their e session. One of my favorites <3

Nicole & Brett - Chicago Engagement Session

Nicole & Brett were a dream. I am SO excited for their wedding this year… especially after these photos. I mean… LOOK AT THEM! They are straight up models. Not only did we get some beautiful light… we got to go up on a ROOFTOP in Chicago. <3
To say im obsessed about this session is an understatement. Just see for yourself…

Ashley & Brendan - Chicago Engagement Session

Ashley & Brenden are one of our 2020 couples! We started in their little neighborhood just a few blocks away from the lakefront. There was absolutely no one out, I guess we could thank COVID-19 for that.
I absolutely adored this session. I didnt realize it was going to be one of my last for awhile :(

It was pretty eerie to walk around and not run into anyone, or have to edit anyone out either.
We ventured to the lakefront, Soldier Field, and a sweet little park in their neighborhood.
I have so many favorites so I just made a blog post :)
Cant wait for their October wedding! <3

Alex & Mike - Downtown Chicago Engagement Session

Alex and Mike are one of my 2017 wedding clients and after their engagement session I can't wait for their December wedding... Chicago on a weekday is about the same as Chicago on the weekend. People everywhere. I am so shocked that we managed to feel like the only three people while there. I love all of these pictures but it was so hard to pick just a few for a blog post. These two are just the sweetest. Their adorable love story is straight out of a book. Paramedic falls in love with the firefighter. Seriously the most classic story ever. I love these two. 

Ashlee & Donald - Engagement - Chicago

When your best friend is getting married, you go to Chicago for the day. My birthday this year was spent taking Ashlee & Donald's engagement photos in Chicago. Let me tell you, it was a bright beautiful day with lots of giggles from Ashlee and I and complaints from Donald. Photographing your best friend always comes with perks like when you tell them to stand in the middle of a crowded side walk, she just says OK, and doesn't give you a funny look. We spent 4 hours taking ubers and walking around the city. It for sure was one of the best birthdays I have had in a long time. :)

Anna & Tony

Anna & Tony's engagement session was one of a kind! We had to reschedule once due to rain, and these locations weren't what we had planned to begin with, but I gotta say, it worked out much better than what we originally planned!! The Lincoln Park Conservatory is a beautiful location. Shooting in downtown Chicago is one of my favorite places, you find hidden gems everywhere. I had to share these :)
I cant wait for their September wedding!
