When Abbey and Tim reached out to us about their engagement session we knew that finding a place to commemorate their favorite city in the world, Chicago, was key! These two love getting to explore the food and brewery scene throughout Chicago, watch True Detective with their two cats and take walks together through the city but their wedding was going to be back in Boston. After chatting with them over the phone, we decided that Chicago Riverwalk engagement photos would be the perfect spot to have the city of Chicago shine in the spotlight!

First we headed to a pizza place in their neighborhood in River North that was right around the corner from their apartment called Roberta's. We always suggest calling ahead when you're doing these special parts of your engagement session to be sure that we get beautiful photos. We asked for a table by the windows and for pizza to be ready to go when we arrived! After grabbing a quick slice (and some adorable photos) we headed down to the riverwalk for the rest of the session!

The riverwalk is the perfect spot for engagement photos because there is such variety of architecture to play with. From bridges to stairways to long stretches of white sidewalk, there is nothing that you can't do at the riverwalk! And of course, if you head there after rush hour on a week day, you'll have the whole place practically to yourself for these romantic photos!

It was such a fun session and we loved getting to showcase one of our favorite spots in Chicago (and isn't the river just gorgeous in the summer)! We just love when couples embrace the neighborhood they live in. It makes for such an amazing memory that is captured to remember for the years to come!
