Lincoln Park Engagement Session with Surprise Fog – Erica & Eric

Erica and Eric’s Lincoln Park engagement session took place on a beautiful evening earlier this month. We started outside of Cafe Brauer and made our way along the Nature Boardwalk down to the lake! These two often ride bikes through Lincoln Park, so we stopped at some familiar spots (and of course, the skyline!). We talked wedding, honeymoon, and Eric was even lucky enough to score one of Erica’s specialty piggy-back rides 🙂

On our way to North Avenue Beach, we noticed the air begin to change but didn’t think much of it. It wasn’t until heading to our final portrait location that we noticed the FOG! It was unreal – water levels were high, and we couldn’t see a thing!! Our session concluded with some really unique and romantic images, but I’m definitely glad we got those skyline photos when we did. Chicago Weather: thanks for always keeping me on my toes!

This was such a fun session – Erica and Eric rocked it! They tie the knot in ONE MONTH, and I’m so excited to see what wedding day will bring!! More piggy-back rides, perhaps?

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.

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I currently reside in Chicago with my designer-turned-handyman spouse and our two spunky felines. When I’m not photographing couples in love, I’m either hanging with these three or (dreaming about) 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, natural wedding photos that look 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 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.
