Layne and Rose are getting married next month (!!), and I’m starting the countdown by sharing their South Loop engagement session! These two have been enjoying Chicago life since moving here from the east coast, and will tie the knot in our city in a few short weeks 🙂

We met up at their home last spring for photos with cats Charlie and Oliver. These boys were truly a bundle of joy… and loving every minute of their photoshoot! Even though they almost stole the show, Layne and Rose couldn’t help but love on their furbabies for as long as they would allow. After a couple of beers (and lots of cat cuddles), we headed out on the town.

Windy City Engagement Photos

If you live in Chicago or have ever visited, you know our weather is… a thing. Even with a trusty weather app or detailed forecast, the actual weather can be completely unpredictable. Luckily, no matter what the weather during your engagement session, I’m confident we’ll still get awesome photos (and maybe even a fun story to tell!).

Straight up: this was probably the windiest Windy City engagement session I have ever photographed. The three of us were hilariously trying to fight the breeze while walking along the lakefront, and sometimes the breeze won! Rose and Layne were great sports about Chicago weather, and we had a blast playing with it until the end. Nevertheless, these two couldn’t stop smiling and we captured some of my favorite engagement session images to date. When the seagulls begin to stop mid-air, you know it’s a windy day in the Windy City!

Layne and Rose: I had so much fun at your South Loop engagement session last spring! Thanks again for having me – can’t wait to do it again very SOON!!
