I had such a blast with Maya and James at their Logan Square engagement session last month! We got lucky with a gorgeous fall day, and these two were all smiles 🙂 For their session, they wanted to showcase their love for Chicago, pizza, ice cream (and each other, of course!). I was definitely into the food-focused idea and luckily we were able to get into a few favorite spots in the city.

Our session began at Spinning J, where these two shared a couple of milkshakes at the counter. If you haven’t been here before, I highly recommend it! These are my favorite shakes in all of Chicago, complete with real whipped cream and all the old-timey, vintage touches you can imagine. Shout out to the staff for accommodating us!

We continued our trek to Logan Square, and a stop at the iconic Greetings From Chicago mural was a must. James and Maya were such a pleasure to hang out with – we even re-created a photo from their engagement day! Finally we made our way to Boiler Room for a couple slices because, well, pizza IS love, guys. We even had time to stop at Humboldt Park for a few photos at dusk in the formal garden. Engagement session = Success!

Maya and James: This was such a fun session, thanks again for having me! Can’t wait for your Chicago wedding next year!!
