engagement photography in chicago

Engagement photography in Chicago for couples who want photos that feel like them rather than a posed catalog. Sessions are 60-90 minutes at a location that means something — the neighborhood you live in, the place you had your first date, the spot you got engaged, somewhere with light that flatters how you actually move together. Editorial direction, not posing-by-numbers.

Locations that work

Chicago is full of places that photograph well at the right time of day. The lakefront at golden hour. The architectural backdrops of the Loop and West Loop. The intimate side streets of Bucktown, Wicker Park, and Logan Square. The North Avenue beach pier. Conservatories like Lincoln Park and Garfield Park when weather is uncooperative. Out-of-state and destination engagement sessions are available with travel quoted by scope. We help you choose based on the aesthetic of your wedding, the time of year, and what kind of light works best for how you both photograph.

What’s included

A 60-90 minute on-location session at one or two locations (longer sessions and multi-location shoots quoted by scope). Editorial direction throughout — we’ll show you how to stand, how to move, how to look at each other in a way that doesn’t feel performed. Forty to sixty professionally edited high-resolution photos delivered within two weeks via a private branded gallery, downloadable in full resolution. Print release included. The session is also a chance for us to get comfortable with each other before your wedding day, which shows up in the wedding photos.
