Hey Windy City Dwellers, Gossip Girl here, and I have the biggest news ever. One of my many sources, JNA Visuals, sends us this: Spotted at Grant Park in Chicago, Meg and Raj side by side having professional photos taken, and Meg has an engagement ring on her left hand. Could it be that this match made in heaven is finally tying the knot? Don’t believe me? Lucky for us JNA Visuals sent proof, photo evidence of the engagement session. Thanks Jayde!
I bet you actually thought this blog was actually a transcript from Gossip Girl, but surprise it’s actually just me Jayde! I had to bust out the impression though as these Gossip Girl inspired engagement photos at Grant Park are just fantastic. Working with Meg and Raj was SO much fun, especially since I’ve been photographing their love for over a year now. The chic vibes of their outfits combined with the variety of backdrops in Chicago’s Grant Park made for an iconic session that I’ve been obsessing over for MONTHS now!
There are a lot of different avenues you can take to pull inspiration for your engagement session. One way of course is to use a show or other form of popular media, like how Meg and Raj’s engagement photos here in Grant Park look like they’re straight up Gossip Girl 2.0 promotional photos. You can also pull inspiration from the location itself! Indoor locations like breweries or record shops give your session a completely different feel than a session at North Avenue Beach would. Thankfully Chicago is brimming with epic locations to choose from for your engagement session!
Meg and Raj’s engagement photos in Grant Park are some of my favorites I’ve documented thus far, partly due to my love for these two, and partly due to my love of Gossip Girl! Be sure to keep an eye out on the blog for my next love story, but until then, you know you love me. Xoxo Gossip Girl.
