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.

I had the pleasure of photographing Nicole and Chris' engagement session at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Chicago, and it was truly a joy to work with this amazing couple. As a photographer, I love when my clients choose locations that have special meaning to them. For Nicole and Chris, the Lily Pool was the perfect choice because of their love for hiking and spending time outdoors.

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.
