This is what an engagement session with me looks like when you take full advantage of my "no outfit limits and no location limits!" Madeline and Ryan's Chicago engagement session is truly a favorite of mine because what do you mean we GOT all of this captured in under 2 hours!?

Madeline is a Ford model, so she has experience with the camera and sets, meaning she knew EXACTLY what she wanted their engagement photos to look like. A speakeasy/bar vibe was a must for them and The Pearl Club was the perfect place since Ryan's gifts to Madeline are always pearls! These two killed it there! I had so much fun doing this entire part of their session with direct flash! It was such a vibe!

We then Ubered to State Street for that iconic Chicago Theatre sign before walking the Riverwalk for some gorgeous images! By the way, if I ask you to stand on top of the bridge, you should just do it! THOSE IMAGES! Are you kidding me?! It's like they are on top of the world!

I'll be forever obsessed with these images and I'm so pumped to capture their wedding next fall!

Congratulations to Madeline + Ryan!
