Springtime Urban Chicago Engagement Session – Hannah & Chris

Spring is in full swing! I had the pleasure of ringing in the season with Hannah and Chris during their urban Chicago engagement session last month. It was a gorgeous afternoon (we lucked out – the next day it snowed!), and these two are just adorable together! They even coordinated outfits in black and white. If there’s one thing I learned from this session it’s that Chris and Hannah are truly, unabashedly, in LOVE 🙂

We began our session downtown for some industrial vibes, and even got to visit my favorite Chicago mural! I especially loved the photos outside Fulton Market Kitchen… with their outfits and the black + white wall I couldn’t help myself : )

It’s clear that Hannah and Chris love their city, so photos with the skyline were a must. We took a romantic stroll by the River before heading back to their neighborhood for sunset! Our session concluded in Humboldt Park with the most beautiful light and some of my favorite candid moments from the day.

These two are so excited to be married, and I cannot wait to capture their Chicago wedding day next May!! Thanks for an awesome session, Hannah and Chris!

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, and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I currently reside in Chicago with my designer-turned-handyman partner and our two spunky felines. When I’m not photographing couples in love, I’m either hanging with these three, managing our West Town studio space, or 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, Miike and Vince)
  • Halloween (the holiday – not the movie. Okay, the movie’s pretty good too.)
About You

You want stunning, true-to-life wedding photos that look and feel 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 day 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.
