Hands down the number one question I get asked every year as a Chicago wedding photographer is: “what are the best engagement locations in Chicago?” It started to dawn on me that being a Chicago engagement photographer I have a list in my head at all times of gorgeous locations to have your Chicago engagement photos taken when asked this question. This is exactly why every year I put together a comprehensive list of the very best engagement locations in Chicago, complete with photo’s, so there is no googling needed 🙂 This city really has everything you could want for your engagement photo shoot: dramatic skyline views, gritty urban feel, colorful artistic murals, romantic nature settings – you really can find it all.
I truly hope that this helps all the newly engaged couples find the perfect spot for their beautiful engagement photo’s!
