There’s something timeless about summer evenings in downtown Chicago, especially when you get to explore the city with a couple like Julia and David. Their engagement session was laid-back, full of laughter, and beautifully authentic—everything I love about photographing couples who are simply themselves in front of the camera.

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate that than with an engagement session! Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Jenny & David on Chicago's Museum Campus. The weather really turned in our favor, and it was a perfect warm sunny day.

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.

Back when the world was more open, I had a fantastic time photographing Alekya & Praveen’s engagement session. We started off at a classic location…the Chicago Riverwalk. I honestly have a great time photographing there.

Photographing Sarah & Chris’ engagement session was a blast. We started off outside their home in Wrigleyville to capture their love for the Cubs, and their pet family, affectionately called “the wolf pack.” I highly recommend included locations that has deep personal meaning to the couple.

Looking forward to Caroline & EJ’s wedding tomorrow! I actually grew with up Caroline’s older sister Alison, so it’ll be great to see old friends. We went to come classic Chicago locations for their engagement session last year.

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.

Very much looking forward to photographing Jessica & Michael’s mini-wedding this weekend, so I wanted to share their engagement photos! I had an absolutely blast photographing their engagement session. We hit many of my favorites spots around Chicago. Kicked things off at the Art Institute of Chicago South Garden.

On June 6, 2019, Rachel and Alvie will stand before their nearest and dearest to profess their love for one another and renew their commitment to a marriage that has seen its fair share of struggle. I am deeply honored to be working with Wish Upon A Wedding, to help visually capture and tell the story of this strong and wonderful couple.

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.
