As a Chicago wedding photographer, I’m lucky enough to document some of the city's most beautiful love stories.

 

I hope you find inspiration here and connect with the feelings I had when I created each photo.

Lincoln Park + North Avenue Beach Engagement

Lincoln Park Engagement Photos

Esther + Charlie wanted to incoporate nature and the Chicago skyline into their engagement photos…so we had a Lincoln Park engagement shoot! This was our second attempt at their engagement photoshoot since we were rained out on the first date. But their patience paid off with this beautiful day! Be sure to scroll through the whole blog post to see all 15+ photos here!
