Reem + Samer’s Chicago Engagement Photos

Chicago Engagement Photos – Lincoln Park + Lakefront

The fall season here in Chicago has been AMAZING! This warm weather is so rare during the month of November! Reem + Samer chose to start their engagement photography session in Lincoln Park. The honeycomb structure is such a popular place for pictures…I’m surprised we were able to grab a photo with nobody in the background!

I love how the honeycomb perfectly frames the Chicago skyline in the background!

Chicago has a beautiful lakefront with the skyline in the background! Photographer’s Insight: The organic + fluid feel of the water are juxtaposed to the straight lines of the skyline…

you Chicago engagement photographer,
