Chicago Engagement Photos // Olive Park // Downtown Riverwalk

Had a great time downtown in Chicago with Emma + Selwyn for their engagement pictures! We started at the Chicago Riverwalk and finished at Olive Park with a phenomenal view of the Chicago skyline! Here’s one of the best photos from their engagement session!

The Chicago Riverwalk is one of my favorite places to take photos in our city. It is Chicago without being cliche! You have the river, bridges and the Wrigley Building!
