Wrigley Field Engagement Photos – Sarah + Ed!

Chicago Cubs Fans at Wrigley Field

Ed + Sarah are big Chicago Cubs fans…and so it was only fitting that we took some engagement photos at Wrigley Field! It was the perfect day for an engagement session in Chicago, especially considering the weather we’ve been having! I love being able to experience new things in Chicago as a wedding + engagement photographer…during this session I got to see the Chicago Cubs locker room!

Ed was just happy to be outside of Wrigley Field…

BUT it got even better once he got us INSIDE! For those that don’t know…this is the 100th year for Wrigley Field!

We only had a few moments on the actual field of Wrigley Field…so I had to work fast – we started with a photo on the Chicago Cubs emblem!

Lake Michigan + The Chicago Skyline

We headed out to Lake Michigan for a couple photos with the water and the Chicago skyline! It’s one of my favorite places to take photos as a Chicago engagement photographer!
