I’m so excited to finally share Lani & Jason’s Chicago engagement session today! We met up at the Chicago Lakeshore the day before New Year’s Eve last year to capture these two & their love!!! It was THE most windy I’ve ever seen it by the water and so, so cold, but these two didn’t let the temperature phase them! After capturing a few portraits by the water with the incredible skyline behind them, we headed over to the Rookery Building to finish up their engagement session on their incredible stairs & the nearby Board of Trade!! A Rookery Building engagement session on their beautiful staircase had been on my photography location bucket list for so long and it didn’t disappoint! These two looked amazing on it’s beautiful staircase! Lani wore the prettiest deep blue dress with gold shimmer in it & I just loved the way it looked! My favorite though was when Lani kicked off her booties for a Vanity Fair inspired portrait sitting on the stairs! Her and Jason absolutely nailed it! I’m so excited to celebrate with them and capture their Shinola Hotel wedding this year in Detroit!
