Julia and Dan’s summer Chicago engagement session was one for the books! Not only did we get lucky with perfect July weather, these two officially tied the knot less than two weeks later! I knew Dan from my theatre days in Chicago – he actually acted in a play I directed years ago (it’s true!). When he told me he and Julia were engaged and wanted an epic photo session to capture their love, I couldn’t have been happier for them!!

We started our session at the 606 in Wicker Park, making our way to North Avenue Beach at dusk. I was definitely a fan of their locations and outfit choices (can we talk about Julia’s hot pink dress?!)… but the way these two look at each other is what really stole the show. We talked about Dan’s Christmas Eve proposal, their Las Vegas honeymoon plans, and upcoming wedding, of course! These two couldn’t be happier together, and that makes my heart so full 🙂

Dan and Julia: Thank you again for having me capture these moments for you. I hope these photos bring you great joy in the years to come! CONGRATS again to you both!!!
