Rachel + Nick: Chicago Engagement in Grant Park

Celebrating the last days of the Summer with the sweetest couple.

I met up with Rachel and Nick in front of the iconic Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, Chicago. With literally no clouds in the sky, we embraced the sunshine and the amazingly clear view of my favorite city skyline.

Look at the beautiful blue sky!

Picking the best location for your photos can be a big decision. Or, you can simply pick a familiar place that makes you feel at home. That’s what makes it the best choice. Rachel & Nick live close to Grant Park and go walking with their dog there all the time. It made It extra special to celebrate their engagement there.

I love Grant Park and all of the little walkways and gardens that surround it. You really don’t have to go far to get different backdrops, and with that skyline view so close, it’s always the best close up view of the city.

We made our way a few minutes North of Grant Park along Lake Shore Drive by Oak Street Beach. The architecture alone is stunning. Add in the lake shore and water views and it’s the perfect Summer afternoon. The waves crashing up on Rachel and Nick were even a cool, be it unplanned, welcome on an unexpectedly hot day.

I love looking back at these photos with this cute duo!
