Nothing beats an engagement picture with the full skyline!

Photographer’s Insight: Love the urban juxtaposed with nature, the curved line cutting through the frame – and the motion of their walking balancing out the skyscrapers!

For those who didn’t know, Northerly Island used to be home to Meigs Field, an airport for smaller private planes. Now it is a park for all to enjoy!

We started their downtown Chicago engagement pictures by the Chicago Riverwalk! Nothing says Chicago like our beautiful architecture, rivers, and bridges!

Were able to get a little lens flare for a couple photos before it hid behind the clouds.

Even though it was a crowded Saturday afternoon, we somehow got a few photos with minimal tourists in the background!

We headed out to the Adler Planetarium for their Chicago skyline engagement pictures!

I love how this Chicago skyline engagement picture says ‘Chicago’ without the Willis or Hancock tower. That diamond building in the background pretty much says ‘Chicago’ for all of us locals!

Can’t wait until your wedding next month and I’m so glad you both enjoyed your engagement session so much! I love your smiles and laughter!

your Chicago engagement photographer,
