Dana + Eric Engagement I Art Institute, Downtown Chicago Engagement Photographer

8/08/13

When I first met with Dana to discuss her Lake Geneva wedding next summer, she brought up her and Eric’s love of the city, and desire to have their engagement session there; after talking about different locations, we settled on the grounds and gardens of the Art Institute in Chicago! Between the architecture, history, and beautiful gardens, this was an amazing spot to document Dana and Eric just being them. In love, laughing, having fun together. I feel so blessed to be able to work with couples that genuinely love each other. That are happy and giggly to just hold each other. Dana and Eric are so incredibly sweet and kind, and the kind of couple that were stealing kisses even when I wasn’t asking them to kiss :) Please enjoy the pictures!!
