Adler Planetarium

Take in a panoramic view of the Chicago Lakefront at the Adler Planetarium and Skyline Walk! 

As every local knows, the most breathtaking view of the Chicago skyline can be seen from the Adler Planetarium and along the Skyline Walk. Have your Chicago engagement photography shoot here, and the city’s stunning architecture and magnificent lakefront will have a starring role in your photos. 

Timing is everything, here. Sunrise and sunset make the already striking panoramic view even more spectacular, bathed in the soft light of golden hour. Not only will the city look magical in the background, but so will the two of you. 

You can’t help but feel romantic here. Strolling in front of the iconic structure of the Adler Planetarium and along the Skyline Walk, you’ll be as enamored of the city you love as you are with each other. Capturing that true sense of awe and wonder is what makes engagement photos so special. 

The perfect balance of nature and architecture, take in the waves of Lake Michigan crashing up on the shore while still being part of that city life. And, as a little known secret, if you walk around the small park attached to the Adler Planetarium, you’ll reach a small, quiet beach for even more variety. 

Who knows? You just might be back here for the big day!Your save the date may offer a sneak peek into your future wedding venue.
