Joan & JT’s Picturesque Lincoln Park Engagement Featuring Doug

One lovely evening in June, I met up with Joan and JT for their Lincoln Park engagement session! Naturally, they had their pup Doug tag along for photos (shout out to Emily for helping us out)! After a spring full of unpredictable weather, we got lucky with the most beautiful evening in the park. As you can see, these two were adorable in front of the camera – and I’m counting the days until their October wedding!

We met at The Bridge Over South Pond for those iconic skyline views, and Joan and JT couldn’t keep their eyes off each other. It was such a treat to stroll around the Nature Boardwalk with these two… and Doug’s smiley face, of course! We chased the golden light around the park, making sure to stop at some favorite locations. As the sun began to set, we continued our stroll all the way to the lakefront!

“A Classic For a Reason”

When we first started planning this session, Joan mentioned taking photos with the skyline view at North Avenue Beach. As many of you know, this is one of the most popular locations in the city for engagement photos! Joan described this spot as “a classic for a reason,” and I couldn’t agree more 🙂 

Lucky for us, we arrived with perfect timing to capture some super fun moments before the sun went down! And these two have some moves – did they not nail the dip photo?! I hardly believed them when they told me it was their first time! I’m obsessed with the romantic light at the end of this session, and the way these two look at each other. I have no doubt their wedding day is going to be AWESOME. 

Joan and JT: Thank you again for having me capture these moments for you! Can’t wait for you to make it official this fall!!
