Chic Engagement Photos at Grant Park in Chicago | Paige and Jack

Paige and Jack put the chic in Chicago during their engagement session! I had THE best time with these two as they have such a fun and lighthearted energy about them. We also were able to take their engagement photos at some of my favorite places in Chicago, including Grant Park and the Lincoln Park Nature Boardwalk, which made the experience just THAT much better!

Engagement Photos at Grant Park in Chicago

From the very start of their session, Paige and Jack were SUCH a vibe! Paige’s white dress was gorgeous, and Jack was looking so classy in his button up and slacks. More than that though, these two were having SO much fun together! Whether they were dancing together, joking around with one another, or recreating Jack’s proposal to Paige, there were SO many moments of literal pure joy throughout our session. It also helped that we were able to take their engagement photos at Chicago’s Grant Park, one of THE best spots in the city for outdoor portraits! Buckingham Fountain and the surrounding areas of the park all make for beautiful backdrops, especially with the Chicago skyline in clear view. It was the perfect spot for engagement photos with a true Chicago vibe, but we had one more iconic location to check out!

Ending Their Engagement Session at the Lincoln Park Boardwalks

Also joining Grant Park on my list of favorite locations for engagement photos in Chicago is the ever wonderful Lincoln Park Nature Boardwalk. The beauty of Lincoln Park cannot be overstated, and the views of Chicago are some of the best around. All that, plus the remarkably calm winter weather we had, made for the best finale for Paige and Jack’s engagement session! After changing into their second outfits of the session the three of us wandered around the park for the remainder of our time together. We of course had to make a stop by the honeycomb, which is always a highlight of sessions here, before finishing things off with some dancing and a beer on the boardwalk!
