Lincoln Park Engagement Session at Dusk – Eunice & Kyle

Eunice and Kyle’s Lincoln Park engagement session was magical in ways I don’t think any of us expected. Their connection is undeniable – I know they could make each other laugh for hours! Between a series of mishaps and the sky beginning to drizzle, all signs pointed to “maybe we should reschedule?” but Eunice and Kyle were packed and ready to leave Chicago a few short days later. They have since relocated to sunny California near where they met years ago, and where they will wed next June. Bottom line is, nothing was going to stop us! We had to make their session happen right then and there, and it came together in the most beautiful way.

I have heard many proposal stories in my day, and theirs resonates with me for some reason. Maybe because I can relate a little 🙂

Eunice’s words: “Kyle and I met when we both attended the same boarding school for high school. I hated his guts, he thought I was a prude. We started dating when I was a junior and he was a sophomore and have been together ever since (8.5 years now). He delights in irritating me and proposed by saying annoying thing after annoying thing so I would not see it coming. We plan to get married at our high school in Southern California.”

Before we began, Eunice shared some photos of their high school to give me an idea of their wedding vision. Believe me – it’s not exactly gymnasiums and fluorescent lighting. This place is a gorgeous mountainside California property that caused this Wisconsin girl’s jaw to drop. I’m not kidding. If my high school were that picturesque… I don’t think I ever would have left!

Kyle and Eunice, I had so much fun capturing these moments with you! I can’t believe the rain held off and our session continued after sunset. The very best to you both as you start your new life together.

About

Chicago wedding photographer Emma Mullins of Emma Mullins Photography

Hellooo, world!

I’m Emma (She/Her): Beer nerd, cat-whisperer, Schitt’s Creek-obsessed Chicago wedding photographer. I’ve been helping couples relive their wedding memories since 2014, and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I currently reside in Chicago with my designer-turned-handyman partner and our two spunky felines. When I’m not photographing couples in love, I’m either hanging with these three, managing our West Town studio space, or traveling someplace new!

A Few of My Favorite Things:
  • Black coffee
  • Buttercream frosting
  • Road trips
  • Watching the sun rise
  • Pretending I sound like Mariah Carey
  • Belgian beer
  • The Green Bay Packers
  • My little fam (Jeremy, Rex and Miike)
  • Halloween (the holiday – not the movie. Okay, the movie’s pretty good too.)
About You

You want stunning, true-to-life wedding photos that look and feel like YOU. You don’t want to feel stiff or look too “posed.” And most importantly, you want to ENJOY your wedding day while we capture all the good stuff! 

Whether you thrive in the spotlight or cringe at the thought of being photographed, we are there to capture your memories. And let’s be honest: your wedding day is going to be AWESOME. No matter what goes according to plan or how many things surprise you, at the end of the day you’ll be married to Your Person. And, spoiler alert: that’s what this is all about!

My Approach

My relaxed, documentary approach allows couples to feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (it’s the number one thing mentioned in my Reviews!). Expect a mix of candid moments and contemporary portraiture, with the occasional embarrassing (aka HILARIOUS) dance floor photo. I will be your hype girl during portrait time (seriously!). We’ll get to know each other throughout the process, and it doesn’t stop on wedding day. I want to show up with hugs and handshakes – not as just another vendor.
