Julia and Luke’s Spring engagement session in Lincoln Park:
Some couples just radiate joy — and Julia and Luke are absolutely one of those couples. We met for their engagement session on a classic spring day in Chicago: full of soft light, vibrant blooms, and plenty of wind (the kind that turns your hair into a character of its own). But despite the gusts, these two never stopped smiling — and their connection made every frame worth it.
We started in Lincoln Park, where the trees were already bursting with vibrant spring color — pinks, whites, and greens all around us, creating the perfect backdrop for such a sweet couple. Julia and Luke have a way of putting each other instantly at ease. The laughs came naturally, the glances were genuine, and there was such an easy rhythm between them, which made perfect sense once I learned their story.
Julia and Luke actually started out as friends back in college, which, after spending a few minutes with them, makes total sense. There’s an easy comfort between them, the kind that comes from knowing each other for years. Over time, that friendship turned into something more, and now here we are getting ready to celebrate their wedding day.
After Lincoln Park, we made our way down to North Avenue Beach. The wind didn’t let up — if anything, it picked up — but Julia and Luke embraced it. They ran, danced, practiced a few unforgettable lifts, held on to each other for warmth, and looked out at the skyline together — a perfect mix of playful and intimate moments.
Congratulations, Julia and Luke! Cannot wait to celebrate your wedding day!
