Best Engagement Session Chicago

       Engagement Photography in Chicago with Hayley and Alex

When I first met Hayley and Alex, I instantly knew we would be taking some very unique engagement photos with them in the Chicago area. The couple plans to have their wedding in February at the Art Institute of Chicago.

I love Chicago city because you always find couples from a variety of different backgrounds with some great and interesting combinations. I think this was one of the best engagement session in Chicago.

We headed to downtown Chicago where both Hayley and Alex work. Hayley has reddish hair and wore a leopard print dress with nude heels. Alex wore a purple shirt with blue jeans and some shoes with red laces. The couple walked hand and hand as they past the giant pillars at Union Station.

We first started at Union Station where magnificent columns make a great background for engagement photos.

Then we made our way to Magnificent Mile area around the Trump Tower.
The weather was very nice to us that day! The light made colors and reflections to pop up everywhere!
As we walked down Magnificent Mile, we took a second to enjoy Chicago’s river and scenery.
We went to a special place in downtown Chicago where you can get an interesting and unique perspective of the city.

It was as if the world was moving around them and their love was untouched!
We then moved to busier streets and had the couple stand still as the rest of the world walked by them.
This time of year we always see an increase of people, however the good thing is when we got to the actual beach we hit the golden hour where the sun had just started to set.
For the final shots, we headed to North Beach Chicago and it was extremely busy but we managed to find good peaceful spots.
The Drake hotel made a cool background for Alex and Hayley.

The tall buildings also added an excellent touch for this amazing couple in love.

Walking by the beach with Navy Pier in background it was an amazing feeling.
Sunset in Chicago.
We seized the lighting opportunity and took sunset engagement photos on the beach has the couple spent a few romantic moments kissing each other.
Last shot for the day!
