Before their wedding in September, Kate and Kris decided on having a romantic getaway weekend adventure. They travelled from Kansas City and chose Chicago as their retreat destination. They found our work via Instagram and reached out to us to capture few portraits during their stay in Lincoln Park. Prior to their arrival we had a conversation via Facetime. As we discussed the importance of the meaningful images and authenticity, we immediately connected. Right after our conversation we were overwhelmed with excitement and we knew their the session will be special. The afternoon photo adventure took us from beautifully decorated, Italian style Villa D’Citta, a Bed and Breakfast in Lincoln Park, to the Montrose Beach, where we wandered through Montrose Bird Sanctuary. The brisk spring evening, ended with an amazing sunset and some beautifully warm light, so appropriately fitting their personalities. Kate and Kris are one of the kindest and sincere couples we have ever worked with. It was truly a pleasure to capture their afternoon adventure in Chicago. We wish them the best on their life’s journey together.
