Amazing Chicago Engagement Photos – Merien + Christian!

Top 3 Chicago Engagement Photo Locations 

Merien + Christian were so excited for their engagement photography session! They persevered through weather postponements and were rewarded with some amazing pictures! They picked three of Chicago’s top spots for engagement photos: Lincoln Park, North Avenue Beach, Millennium Park and the Riverwalk at Night!

These first two are the Best of my Best from their session! Love this first photo  in front of Chicago’s iconic Millennium Park fountains!
