Chicago is one of our favorite cities. From amazing weddings to brilliant engagement sessions, Chicago has given us a lot of things to talk about, and many beautiful photos to go through and has introduced us to some of the most in love and stylish couples. Today’s blog is about one such couple, unique, stylish, and dripping in the beautiful Chi-Town charms, Jessica and Brian made the city their playground and had a wonderful photo session. The entire outdoor engagement photo session was surrounded by some of the most beautiful sights in the city, and canopied by the tall, tall buildings. The couple wanted an urban photo session, which captured, and encapsulated the brilliant beauty of the city, and their happy smiles! Our engagement photographer understood exactly what they wanted, and when our photographer came to know of the beautiful photo spots in Chicago that they chose, they couldn’t agree more. For the day, Jessica and Brian had decided on putting on elegant outfits for the day. Both of the outfits Jessica and Brian had decided to put on were charming and beautiful. The photo shoot locations the couple had in mind were the massive Wrigley Building and the brilliant and calming Chicago Riverwalk. The photo session for these two lovebirds started at the Wrigley Building and then moved to the Riverwalk, in different outfits. When we went through their engagement photos, we saw the love in their eyes for each other, the bounce in their steps that showed us how excited they were for a lifetime of togetherness, and their impressive choice in style, which the outfits say enough. 

Chicago is a tapestry of history, culture, and culinary delights. The vibrant city of Chicago is a place blend of historical landmarks, cultural richness, and culinary wonders blend together in a brilliant way. From iconic architecture to world-class museums, this bustling metropolis offers a range of experiences that will captivate anyone captivated. Chicago's story is etched in its streets, echoing tales of its transformation from a humble trading post to a thriving urban center. From the Chicago History Museum, nestled in the charming neighborhood of Lincoln Park, which is peppered with the city's past, to the pretty Garfield Park Conservatory that offers wonderful botanical art, from Art Institute of Chicago, which is the second largest art museum in the country, to the tallest building in the city, Willis Tower, the city offers a host of areas to explore and enjoy. Let’s not forget the expansive legendary music scene, which birthed the soulful sounds of jazz and blues that make Chicago what it is. The streets are peppered with some of the best architectural wonders in the country. No visit to Chicago would be complete without indulging in its culinary delights. The city's signature deep-dish pizza is a delicious creation that embodies the city's hearty spirit. A trip to the neighborhoods gives you a gastronomic adventure, where diverse culinary traditions converge. From the vibrant flavors of Greektown to the tantalizing aromas of Little Italy, Chicago's food scene is a true reflection of its multicultural fabric. The city’s beauty and attraction also come from the wonderful rhythms and melodies of world-class performances at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra or witness the vibrant energy of the Joffrey Ballet. Chicago is a city that embraces its past while embracing the future, where history, culture, and culinary delights intertwine to create an unforgettable experience. Delightfully called the Windy City, which was because of its history of boastful politicians and its occasional gusty winds caused by its location near Lake Michigan, is also called Chi-Town, which was coined by the locals. It was here that Jessica and Brian met, found love and home in each other, and decided to connect for a lifetime! 

For the day, the lovebirds were excited and super energetic to get the day started. When we looked at the photos, we knew exactly what the two were feeling and it warmed our hearts. For the first outfit, the stylish couple had matching outfits. Brian’s outfit was a casual yet classy two-piece suit. He chose a brilliant cream dress jacket, casual, and similar pants and paired it with a solid white t-shirt. Jessica, the pretty bride-to-be, had picked out a lovely white short dress, befitting the bride she was to be soon, and she paired it with a pretty headgear with a short veil-like mesh on top. The dress had puffy sleeves and Jessica did a great job of looking perfect in it! The first location for the photo session was the beautiful Wrigley Building, which is one of the most popular places to take photos in the city. The couple had decided to pose for photos in their most natural ways. All they wanted was to have photos that showed their authentic selves and how deeply in love they were with each other. Our engagement photographer knew exactly what the couple wanted and was more than happy to take impressive photos. Before the photo session started, Jessica also brought a beautiful bunch of yellow flowers, which went well with the surroundings and the outfits the couple had chosen to put on for the day. As the two were walking up to the spot to gear up for the photo session, they were talking about their wedding planning process and how much fun they were having. Their wedding outfits and other wedding details were still being planned; they had, however, booked their wedding venue, which was the Royal Melbourne Country Club. 

When they reached the right place, our photographer helped them with some engagement photo poses. The spot where the photo session started was a bridge with the Wrigley Building towering over it in the background. The skyline was peppered with beautiful buildings, the gems of Chicago, if you will, and our couple for the day were not only comfortable but were absolutely rocking the day with their smiles and glamor. In the first outfit, Jessica not only looked perfect but also gave us a glimpse of the kind of bride Jessica would be. Her hair was swept perfectly and her make-up was on-point, and we knew that she would look wonderful on her wedding day. So, the first few photos of the day were taken in motion. The couple looked beautiful and pretty. They were stepping on the bridge and making their way to the Wrigley Building, so our photographer took some photos of the two walking together. Next to each other, they looked perfect, like they belonged together. Using the bridge as their spot, the couple took some amazing photos. The first few photos, on the bridge, had them look all-glammed up and stylish. Their outfits for the engagement session were clearly visible, and they looked like two movie stars posing for photos. Some of our favorite photos from this spot are the ones where the two walked hand-in-hand, and they forgot that a world apart from them existed too. Finding the right spot on the bridge, the two embraced and kissed each other, which also made the photos look amazing! The white dress and the mesh headgear made Jessica’s outfit truly look like a bridal outfit with a cute wedding veil. Our photographer helped the lovebirds optimize the area for their photos. To make the most of their engagement photo session, these two had also brought a bottle of beverage to open as a celebration of their beautiful journey’s beginning. 

Although the couple had decided on two outfits and two engagement photo locations, the couple posed in their first outfit in both spots. The couple decided to take photos in both of the spots and then change outfits and do it again, which is something we adored! For the first leg of the photo session, Jessica and Brian took their time with the locations, and switched between positions to make their photos look absolutely stunning. We also loved how our engagement photographer put a twist on the photos and made them look amazing. Our photographer took a few photos of the couple from between the banisters, which made the couple look better and livelier. Happy and with a spring in their step, the couple walked around the space to find the right spots for their photo sessions. Their neutral outfits were stunning and sat well with the backgrounds. We enjoyed seeing how happy and comfortable the two were. They also made their way through the different spots, including the boardwalk. The day’s weather was perfect and added a natural glow to their photos. At the Riverwalk, the two posed by the rails with their broad smiles and looked perfect next to each other. And then, cracked open their bottle of champagne and celebrated before posing for a few more photos. When they cracked the bottle open, our photographer took some candid photos, capturing the essence of the moment. The two genuinely looked like they were enjoying the moment and were looking forward to their future together. 

Although the couple spent most of their time in front of the Wrigley Building, they did have some impressive photos taken at Chicago Riverwalk. We loved both of the photos regardless. Some of our favorite engagement photos in the first leg of the photo session are the beautiful romantic photos the two posed for. Talking about photos in front of the Wrigley Building, the couple had loads of fun, it was evident through their photos. We loved the fact that the bride-to-be and the handsome groom-to-be, were not only present in the moment, but were enjoying themselves as they switched from one photo pose to another. Classy and stylish, this elegant couple had no trouble making their photo session look magical and romantic. Taking the time to look into each other’s eyes, our photographer helped the two to pose for some impressive photos. Our photographer took note of the surroundings, with the buildings towering over the two, which helped in making the outdoor photo shoot session of this Chicgao couple look urban yet magical. Our engagement photographer took photos from lovely angles, which gave us photos worth marveling at. Since the couple had decided to have their engagement photo session in the afternoon, which was just perfect for the occasion, taking the buildings around into account. So, speaking of our favorite photos in front of the Wrigley Building, we can not mention the beautiful photos when the couple was standing in front of each other, looking deeply into each other’s eyes and smiling. 

In those photos, Jessica not only looked beautiful and elegant but also had a great presence in the photos. The small beautiful bunch of yellow flowers not only made this photo look amazing but also added a pop of color. In the same photo pose, our photographer took another photo, where you can see these two smiling. Then the two switched a few more poses, which made their photos in front of the building look even better. Another one of our favorite photos is the one where Jessica was standing in front of Brian, and you can see her pretty white dress. Her hand was resting on Brian’s cheek, as he softly snuggled his face next to her face, making that photo look exactly like the saying, “A photo is worth a thousand words.” Jessica still held on to the flowers. The floral detail in the photo made the urban engagement photo session look amazing! In the same photo spot, Brian pulled Jessica closer, quietly turning her to face him, with his hands around her waist. This photo looked not only beautifully romantic, but you can also see the playful side of the two lovebirds. In the same spot, before the couple decided to move on to the next spot, they spoke softly, which we think was about how they have a life together to plan after their wedding and talking about cutesy bits and fell into a soft kiss, which our photographer took a photo of! 

At the Chicago Riverwalk, the couple was their happy and playful selves. The refreshing vibe of the Chicago Riverwalk was made even better with the couple taking excited and happy photos with much enthusiasm. Our engagement photographer was all hands-on and helped the couple take photos in the best locations. Starting at the bridge and the steps, our photographer made sure to have the couple pose in front of the waterbody in the background. The bridge was the perfect place to start, with the river flowing serenely and the couple smiling brightly into the camera. The couple chose some of the best spots down the Riverwalk to pose for photos. From spots like under the bridge to the beautiful steps surrounded by lovely greenery, which made the couple look urban, stylish, and happily in love with each other. The beautiful couple also took amazing photos in the lovely river with wrought iron railings, which is one of the most popular spots in the city to take engagement photos. With that, our couple was done with the first leg of the photo session and then decided to change into their second set of outfits. 

The pretty couple decided to go all dark with their second set of outfits! Jessica chose to don a natural hairstyle for the photo session and had a black party dress picked out with lovely strappy black heels. Brian, following his fiance’s idea of outfits, was dressed in all black. He had a black dress shirt, black jacket, and black pants with formal black dress shoes. Looking just as stylish as they were before, this beautiful couple looked happy and excited to get more photos of their engagement. Starting at the bridge, right near the Wrigley Building, the couple was smiling and happy. As the sun was going down, the photos looked even better and dreamier. Our photographer took advantage of the dipping sun, and the dark outfits that the couple had picked out for the second part of their photo session. Before the couple brought their poodle into the photo session, our photographer took photos of the couple’s engagement ring, which was just as brilliant as the couple. Then, our photographer helped the two pose with their furbaby. Including their puppy in the photo session was easy. Our photographer had Jessica and Brian pick up the pretty brown furbaby and pose by kissing the pupper. And then, using the yellow bouquet, our photographer took a few more photos of the two, as the yellow color added a lovely tonality to the photo session with black outfits! For the last few photos, they stood next to each other, posing for a photo, and then moving on to the spot where they started the photo session, which is where our photographer bid the two lovebirds goodbye!
