Chicago Proposal Photos // LondonHouse Cupola + Riverwalk

Chicago Proposal Photos at LondonHouse Cupola Rooftop

Matt was worried all week. The weather forecast said rain. Would the weather derail his plans? Well, on their special day, the rain stopped and we were able to capture these amazing Chicago proposal photos at the LondonHouse Cupola rooftop! Scroll down to see Matt get on bended knee to ask Jessica for her hand in marriage! This first photo was a ‘recreation’ with the Chicago skyline! =)

As I told Matt + Jessica – with 13 years as a Chicago proposal photographer…sometimes a little rain keeps the crowds away! This photo would not have been possible without a crowd in the background had it not rained earlier in the day!

Chicago Riverwalk Proposal Photos

We went across the street from the LondonHouse for their Chicago riverwalk proposal photos! I love how timeless these next two photos are in black and white! Nothing says Chicago like the Wrigley Building!

Chicago proposal photographer tip: Different variations. You’ve seen a ton of Chicago proposal photos taken along the riverwalk. But taken at night while standing on the bridge yields very different results! Love creating these unique pictures for Jessica + Matt!
