Back when the world was more open, I had a fantastic time photographing Alekya & Praveen’s engagement session. We started off at a classic location…the Chicago Riverwalk. I honestly have a great time photographing there.

Very much looking forward to photographing Jessica & Michael’s mini-wedding this weekend, so I wanted to share their engagement photos! I had an absolutely blast photographing their engagement session. We hit many of my favorites spots around Chicago. Kicked things off at the Art Institute of Chicago South Garden.

I'm always here to help my couples with deciding where to photograph their engagement sessions.  I have plenty of advice and insight about where to go in our beautiful city.  That said, I'm always interested to hear their ideas and see what they bring to the table. 

To date, this has to be one of the most unique engagement sessions I've photographed.  When I'm discussing engagement photo ideas with my clients, I always questions like: "What places have meaning for your relationship?" or "What do you both like to do together?"  Tam & Brendan didn't hesitate and asked "We like to sit on our couch and eat sushi together.

This engagement session is one of my favorites from last summer.  I'm posting now because Laura & Mike's wedding is coming up this Saturday!  I'm truly looking forward to documenting their event at The Thompson Chicago.

Michelle & Charles were truly fun photograph.  I treat engagement sessions as an icebreaker with a new client.  Almost no need for them, since being in front of the camera seemed to come naturally.  They were just themselves, and took comfort in simply being with one another; advice I would give any of the couples I work with.
