There’s something timeless about a Chicago sunset, and Alyssa and Jack’s engagement session at North Avenue Beach was the perfect example.

Some couples just radiate joy, and Kristen and Jake are one of them. Their recent session at Lincoln Park Zoo’s South Pond and North Ave Beach was nothing short of magical.

This beautiful celebration of love took place in the heart of Chicago, beginning with a heartfelt ceremony at Assumption Church and culminating in a glamorous reception at the Trump Hotel.

In June of 2024, the charming, rustic beauty of The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms played host to the wedding of Josh and Jessica. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the couple celebrated the beginning of their lifelong journey together, and I had the honor of capturing every unforgettable moment.

Since I’ve been terrible at keeping up with blog posts, I’m bunching all of my engagement sessions from this fall and winter! There are so many good ones in here, and I will be posting the rest of those fall and winter weddings soon too!

I love how the Museum Campus is the perfect backdrop for timeless photos. There are so many amazing spots there and it was made even better by Matt’s classic car!
