An Engagement That Screams "CHICAGO"!

May 13th, 2024

Recently, I was fortunate enough to conduct one of the most textbook Chicago photography sessions I've done in some time. Being in the heart of downtown and surrounded by some of the world's most architecturally stunning skyscrapers painted the perfect urban backdrop that any photographer dreams of capturing.

 

Many people opt to take their "Chicago" pictures at the lake, but there is something about the river that adds so much character. Not only does the water reflect the gorgeous light bouncing off of all the buildings, but you also get to experience the hospitality of Chicagoans with boaters greeting you as they sail by. It felt like the city was truly showing off its charm for this lovely couple.

 

From there, we walked over to one of Chicago's iconic bridges where the couple could look over the water, listen to the L train clatter overhead, (and pose with the structure of the bridge which happened to be painted the perfect color to match their outfits). Well, I should say colors. They tried their best with those patch jobs lol.

 

As if all this weren't enough to visually make my day, the universe decided to add one more element to the mix - a stunning sunset. It was as if the city had sprinkled gold all over the place just as we were wrapping up the session.

 

I absolutely loved this couple, this location, this day, and these photos. The day was absolutley perfect, and it is just another reminder of how lucky I am to call this my job!
