Iconic Locations for Chicago Engagement Photography

Chicago offers an extraordinary range of settings, and Kenny approaches each engagement session with intention. From iconic skyline views, the Riverwalk, Buckingham Fountain, Millennium Park, and historic Chicago bridges to quieter natural spaces, urban streets, and industrial environments. Each location is thoughtfully chosen to reflect the couple’s style and connection. Sometimes the setting is instantly recognizable; other times it’s something unexpected—selected to match the couple’s vibes and vision.

YERI & MARK

We hired Kenny for a photoshoot and couldn’t be happier with the results! Not only did we have a great time during the session, but Kenny was incredibly professional, flexible, and responsive throughout the entire process.

He answered all our questions promptly and thoroughly, making him a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

We came in with a few ideas, and he brought them to life with his creative eye and deep knowledge of great photo spots around the city. He guided us through a variety of poses and helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.

Modern, Timeless Engagement Imagery

His Chicago engagement photography often blends editorial-style portraits with candid moments. Some images feel cinematic and romantic, others bold and modern, while some carry the refined presence of a fashion editorial or luxury brand campaign. Every photograph is created with intention, balancing light, architecture, emotion, and connection.

We hired Kenny to photograph our wedding, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From our initial engagement photo shoot, we knew our wedding photos would be stunning. Kenny was a pleasure to work with—kind, accommodating, and dedicated to capturing every special moment.

He creates a relaxed, enjoyable environment that allows couples to be themselves. Every couple featured on the site is real—real relationships, real emotion, real moments—united by a desire to celebrate this chapter of their lives and preserve it beautifully.

For couples seeking Chicago engagement photography that feels modern, elevated, and enduring, Kenny invites you to connect and begin the experience. He would be honored to create something meaningful together.

CHICAGO ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER FAQS

WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE OURSELVES, WILL YOU HELP DIRECT US?

Of course! It is my job to help my clients look their best in their photographs. We all have flattering and unflattering angles. During the session we work together to find the poses that look the best and feel the most natural. It is the main reasons why I always recommend an engagement session…so you can learn how I direct and be comfortable in front of the lens. This way on your wedding day, you can relax a little bit more, knowing that your photos will look good!

WHAT LOCATIONS DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

A typical day time engagement session is 90 minutes with up to two locations and up to two outfits. Rather than just telling you what I think, I like to start off the conversations with: “Are there any locations/vibes you have in mind? Are there any locations that have any sentimental value to you?” We start there and then collaborate on finding locations that match your answers! I have a vast library of locations to share and am happy to be a resource for you.

CAN WE HAVE PHOTOS TAKEN AT NIGHT?

I love how Chicago comes alive at night. Everything looks a little different. A little more romantic. A little more drama. Taking photos at night is much more technical from a photographer’s point of view. The experience is a little different and so I only offer night photos as an add-on option to a daytime session. You have to learn how to be directed and the posing flow during the daytime session to help our evening time go smoothly!

"He goes above and beyond to capture the best possible shots. We cannot recommend him enough!"
