Ywonne and Morgan are getting married in ONE MONTH!! Today I’m starting the countdown with their engagement session last fall. I met these two one Friday afternoon for some classic downtown photos on the Chicago Riverwalk. We made our way to LaSalle Bridge, and then in true Ywonne and Morgan fashion, took a stroll toward Millennium Park! These two often take walks downtown together, and I love that we kept the theme for their engagement session. Their “day in the life” vibe just so happens to include some of the most popular downtown Chicago engagement photo locations 🙂

Millennium Park Engagement Photos

Millennium Park is arguably the most popular place for locals and tourists to congregate downtown any time of year. If there’s not a festival, concert, Movie-in-the-Park, or other event, you’ll still find plenty of people enjoying the space and its many works of art. Pro tip: If you’re planning to take wedding or engagement photos in Millennium Park, a photography permit is required! More information on that here. 

Olive Park Engagement Photos

As the sun began to set, we made our way to Olive Park for photos with the skyline and that dreamy light! Besides North Avenue Beach and The Adler Planetarium, Olive Park is another prime location for a killer skyline view. It’s adjacent to Ohio Street Beach and Navy Pier, making for a perfect a stroll in the park if you happen to be nearby. Morgan and Ywonne were a treat in front of the camera! They even let me try a leaf toss photo to celebrate the fall. I’m so excited for them to tie the knot here in Chicago next month.

Ywonne and Morgan: Your downtown fall engagement session was such a blast! Can’t wait to do it again very SOON!!
