I feel like Sara & Mike’s engagement session started a trend for my couples….. beginning their sessions at their favorite pub / tavern / brewery. For them, it was an awesome little placed called Beermiscuous in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood.

I've been meaning to feature these two stylish love-birds for sometime now.  Eileen & Lee truly brought their own unique personal aesthetic to the shoot, so creatively they were a joy to photograph.  To be honest, I need more motorcycles in my photos. 

I had an absolute blast photographing Shelly & Josh for their engagement session!  As with many of my recent sessions, we found ourselves starting off at the couple's favorite bar, Jake's Pub.  In addition to planning on where to go for engagement portraits, I always ask the couple what they like to do together.

truly had a wonderful time photographing Kacie & Varun's engagement session in Humboldt Park.  When it comes to choosing locations for the shoot, my advice to all couples I work with, is to choose places that have significance to them.

I had an absolutely amazing time with Colleen & Stuart on their engagement session!  We started at Travelle inside The Langham Chicago, which is an incredibly stylish space.  Even more stylish were their outfits.  In a round about way, I'll say the shoot was sponsored by Trunk Club (friend of the bride works there).   They started off by sharing a cocktail, which honestly is a great way to begin a session.  We then met up with their pup near the State Street Bridge for photos along the riverwalk.  As the sun went down, we finished with some dusk portraits on their building's rooftop, which has breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline.  It was simply a great evening shooting with them, and I'm looking forward to the wedding!
