Photographing a Lincoln Park Engagement Session
Just got back to Chicago from Big Sky, Montana where I photographed Madelaine & Adam’s destination wedding. The couple had to cancel and reschedule their original Chicago wedding plans, and I couldn’t be more grateful to them for wanting to fly me out west. It was an absolutely amazing trip! The Rainbow Ranch Lodge is a beautiful place with stunning views of the Bridger Mountains. Can’t wait to share the photos!
In the meantime, since we’re heading into September, I wanted to share their fall engagement photos from last year. I had a blast working with them then as I did in Montana. We started off near the Kinzie Street Bridge. The bridge itself has some really nice views down the Chicago River. However if you explore a little bit more, the area offers some interesting backdrops, from industrial to ivy covered walls. We then headed to the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool. It’s no doubt a popular spot, but I still consider it a hidden natural gem in the city. The fall colors were in no short supply that day, and I honestly love photographing engagements during this season. Great weather, soft light and bold colors….couldn’t be better. Lastly we arrived at Fullerton and Lake Michigan for a few photos at dusk with the Chicago skyline. In some ways I prefer this location over North Avenue Beach, since it offers a great view with less people in the background.
Cannot thank Madelaine & Adam for working with me through this difficult time with the pandemic. So happy for them both and I’ll be sharing photos from their wedding soon!
