I met Dana + Jared for their Chicago engagement session at one of my favorite places in Chicago …. Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park South Pond is hands down such a dreamy spot for engagement photos because it has so much variety. I love that you can get the ever-changing elements of nature but you also get that gorgeous Chicago skyline too.

We had a gorgeous, fall day — I’m talking upper 70s for Dana and Jared’s engagement photos, and we were all so excited to be soaking up the last bit of warm weather, as we wandered around Lincoln Park. Dana and Jared are getting married this May at Galleria Marchetti, and I am so excited to be their wedding photographer because the team they have hired including planner, Jamie Boton, is going to be just magical. Here are just a handful of my favorites from their session including some of my favorite film photos.
