If you're looking for a Chicago spot that has all of the classic Chicago vibes without being too cliche then look no further than Ping Tom Memorial Park for engagement photos! It's a spot that we have loved for a long time and have enjoyed going to as a family for amazing views of the city while getting to be in a spot with wide open spaces.

Carleigh and Sean knew that they wanted to have a classic Chicago feel but didn't want their photos to look like every other engagement session they had seen with the skyline and Lake Michigan. When I sent over some questions to help narrow down what we could do for their session, they mentioned liking Chicago architecture and industrial vibes. I knew immediately that Ping Tom Memorial Park would be the perfect spot for their engagement photos!

Carleigh and Sean met at Notre Dame and happened to accidentally go on their first date!

"I brought Sean to Rose's Luxury in Washington D.C. a trendy and popular restaurant that we had to wait in line for a couple hours to reserve a spot later that night. The food, ambience, wine, and most importantly company was amazing!

Arguable this night was the start of many important things; Our love for good food, good wine, good chefs ... and most importantly our love for each other." - Carleigh
