Downtown Chicago Summer Engagement – Grace & Henry

Grace and Henry’s Chicago summer engagement was the perfect mix of iconic city moments and a cozy date night at the lakefront. I met up with these two in the heart of downtown on a beautiful June evening when the city was buzzing. We started our session in front of the Chicago Theatre, one of my favorite photo locations! With the marquis lights illuminating State Street, this spot feels even more magical. Grace and Henry were all about each other… and up for anything!

Chicago Riverwalk Engagement Photos

From there, we took a stroll along the Riverwalk to take in the views and summer breeze. We chatted about wedding details, their pup Lincoln, and plans for the summer ahead. The golden light sparkled on the water, and downtown Chicago felt alive with energy. We made our way to another favorite downtown location – the view from LaSalle Street Bridge!

I love when couples want to showcase our city in their engagement photos – and summer is the perfect time for that. If you’re hoping to use photos on your wedding web site or Save the Date, we’ve got you! There are so many unique locations to choose from that help build excitement for your Chicago wedding day.

Lincoln in the Park

Our final stop was none other than Lincoln Park, to meet a very important guest: their dachshund, Lincoln! Not only was his cameo appearance a highlight of our session, rumor has it I get to see this little guy again on wedding day! As you can see, he brought the cuteness and the smiles… Grace and Henry are clearly smitten. And of course we couldn’t end our session without taking advantage of the skyline view at North Avenue Beach – it’s a classic for a reason.

Grace and Henry: Thank you again for trusting me, and bringing your energy and ideas to this session! I can’t wait to do it again in a few short weeks!!
