A Quiet Morning Along the Chicago River

Syd & Jo are just the sweetest most joy-filled couple, they are so in love and it’s infectious to be around them!

We had a lovely morning starting at the Wrigley Building for portraits. We got there early to avoid the crowds, and being June, we had a perfect backdrop of Pride flags along the façade to help set the stage. After we explored the area we did a quick outfit change and headed down to the riverwalk. Syd works on the river during the summers, making it a personal and special place for them.

Finally, we ended the afternoon with a round of drinks at The Northman Beer & Cider Garden. I always love adding an experience element to a portrait session, it allows couples to let their guard down and just enjoy each other’s company without having to actively think about posing, allowing me to capture very natural and spontaneous candid moments.
