Chicago Cocktail Bar Engagement at Feather & Tail – Shanna & Shawna

Shanna and Shawna’s fall engagement session at Feather & Tail had such a fun and colorful vibe. With the vintage jukebox, retro decor, and delicious cocktails, these two couldn’t help but accentuate their surroundings. It was the perfect date-night-meet-cute alternative to the rainy weather outside… but we’ll get to that later. 

Feather & Tail Engagement

Alexis met up with these two while they were in Chicago last month, and they’ll be back to tie the knot in THREE DAYS!! They really made use of the unique space – and even got to play a quick round of darts. Cocktail bars are one of our favorite options for engagement photos, and a popular choice if weather doesn’t cooperate. We live when couples make it personal and choose a location that’s meaningful to them. Special thanks to Monica and Sam for helping us make this happen! 

Romantic Rain in Horner Park

After cocktails, it was time to brave the weather… and I am SO glad they did! Alexis led these two on a stroll through Horner Park with our trusty clear umbrellas, and created some of the most romantic and cinematic engagement photos I have ever seen. Truly, these look straight out of a movie. Shanna and Shawna were up for anything, and the joy on their faces is unmistakable. Let this be inspiration to anyone who is unsure about rainy weather on your wedding day! If you trust your photographer, the photos will turn out beautifully no matter what. 

Shanna and Shawna: Your romantic Feather & Tail engagement session is one of my favorites from this year. We can’t wait for you to make it official in Chicago this weekend!
