Oak Park Engagement Featuring Frank Lloyd Wright House – Yan & Jimmy
A Stroll Through the Frank Lloyd Wright District
Yan and Jimmy’s Oak Park engagement session was like stepping into the first chapter of their love story. These two first explored this neighborhood early in their relationship, wandering the historic streets and touring the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. Returning for their engagement photos felt especially full-circle! Every time I’m in Oak Park I can’t help but stop and admire the architecture of the homes. Yan and Jimmy were full of fun facts and knowledge about Frank Lloyd Wright – and had some favorites themselves!
Oak Park Engagement Photos
After photos at the studio, we took a walking tour around the neighborhood (led by Jimmy and Yan, of course!). We stopped for photos outside their favorite houses, including dreamy, historic Cheney Mansion. Throughout the session, we chatted about their wedding plans, life in Chicago, and how this neighborhood shaped the early days of their relationship. One of my favorite locations was Austin Gardens – perfect for a romantic afternoon stroll and lush greenery. And, we couldn’t leave the garden without a photo in front of the Frank statue!
Classic Chicago Italian Beef
Our final stop was Johnnie’s Beef! Not only is this place home to the classic Italian Beef sandwich, but yet another one of their first date spots 🙂 We always encourage our couples to make their engagement session as personalized as possible – and stopping at Johnnie’s was the best idea. Who doesn’t want to end a great session with a delicious sandwich?!
Can’t wait for these two to tie the knot here in Chicago later this year!
