The weather is finally getting warmer, and it was a ton of fun to get outside and photograph Jenny & Marc’s engagement session! It was the perfect blend of some classic Chicago locations, while also telling a part of their personal story. We started off in the Fulton Market neighborhood, which is a fantastic area for inspiring street art.

It’s a given that I end up going to familiar locations around the city with my clients, but I’m always interested in a place I haven’t been. Adrienne mentioned she lived near Graceland Cemetery and that her and Kellen like to take walks there.

Working with the same family for multiple weddings is something I really enjoy. Having been the photographer for Seth’s sister’s wedding, I am excited to have the opportunity to do the same for him and his bride-to-be Melanie. If the energy the day of their wedding is anything like it was for this awesome engagement session, then we’re in for a great time!

As lovers of the city, Lauren and Josh wanted to feature some popular areas for their engagement session. We headed downtown to the Chicago River, the Riverwalk, El Train, Millennium Park, and the Lurie Gardens, capturing the sweet moments.

I truly do enjoy when the couple makes their engagement session personal to them and their relationship. For Laura & Victor, not only did we photograph in their neighborhood of Fulton Market, but we also stopped by the spot of their first date at RM Champagne.

To date, this has to be one of the most unique engagement sessions I've photographed.  When I'm discussing engagement photo ideas with my clients, I always questions like: "What places have meaning for your relationship?" or "What do you both like to do together?"  Tam & Brendan didn't hesitate and asked "We like to sit on our couch and eat sushi together.

I truly had fun time photographing Shannon & Morgan's engagement session!  I first need to thank the good folks over at Revolution Brewing for allowing us to shoot in their taproom. 

I had an absolute blast photographing Shelly & Josh for their engagement session!  As with many of my recent sessions, we found ourselves starting off at the couple's favorite bar, Jake's Pub.  In addition to planning on where to go for engagement portraits, I always ask the couple what they like to do together.

Kim & Chad are truly a fun-loving couple, with a natural chemistry.  The Morton Arboretum was a perfect backdrop for their engagement session, and I'm truly looking forward to their wedding coming up in August!

I had a fantastic time working with Sonali & Prithvi!   For their engagement session we photographed at some of my favorite locations in Chicago.

This spring was an incredibly tough season to photograph Evie & Ameer's engagement session.  I think we rescheduled at least three times due to either the wind, rain or cold.  That said, with just under two weeks until their wedding, we found a beautiful day in May.
