Julia + Erik | Chicago Engagement Session

I first met with Julia a few weeks ago, and I immediately knew we would work well together. We got together near her and Erik's south loop apartment at this adorable little coffee shop and talked all about the wedding and photography, and life in general. We immediately booked this engagement session to make sure we got the fall colors before they were gone! Julia and Erik both grew up in suburbs of Chicago, and will be getting married next spring up in Wisconsin! They were so much fun to work with, and we found some locations that I've never shot at in Chicago before, which is always awesome. We started out at a cute little park in the South Loop, and then on our way to the lakefront, we spotted this cool wall covered in ivy and stopped there. We made a pit stop at the beach by the planetarium, and then ended the session not far from there where we could see a different skyline view from one of their regular roller blading locations. I had so much fun braving the wind and the cold with these two love birds! They are so perfect together.

Took a little walk around the North Pond area in Lincoln Park with these two late last week, and they were so great to work with. The light was absolutely perfect, and it wasn't too cold especially for a November afternoon.

They will be getting married in April, and I'm so excited for the wedding! I really love engagement sessions for how casual they are. It's so fun to get to know a couple before the big day. Good luck with the rest of your planning, guys!
