Just a quick picture this time, it’s from back in February and I just came across it and thought I’d put it up. It’s one of my favorite engagement photos ever from Milennium Park near the famous Bean in downtown Chicago. I’ve never been down here when it wasn’t at least a little crowded so […]
Just a few of our favorite Chicago engagement photos from a fall shoot with Laura and Rudy. We kept things simple and hit up some of the our favorite Chicago engagement picture locations like Michigan Avenue, Millenium Park, and the Art Institute.

Chicago is one of my favorite places to shoot engagement photos and Millennium Park, in spite of all of the crowds, remains one of the most versatile locations in the city to take your engagement pictures. I met up with Rachael and Rhen in Chicago on a rather crazy weather day, there were severe thunderstorms […]
One of the best places in Chicago for indoor engagement photos in the winter is Salvage One, it’s an old warehouse located on West Hubbard St in the heart of Chicago. While Salvage One does charge couples for the right to take engagement pictures there the fee is really reasonable compared to most other “indoor” […]

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year for engagement photos in Chicago, especially downtown in and around the Art Institute and Millennium Park! It never ceases to amaze me just how much fall color you can find in a city the size of Chicago but I guess that’s a testament to Mayor […]

Engagement photos with dogs are always fun, I met up with Chris and Kelly in Downtown Chicago to do some engagement pictures with their dogs but as soon as we met up it began to rain. We took shelter beneath this tree to wait out the rain but it was to no avail, we ended […]

Yes… while […]
