A West Loop Engagement Session : Chicago Engagement Photographer

I’ve never been to Denver, but I’d definitely love to go. I’m sure a lot of people visit the area to check out their beautiful ski resorts, but skiing is definitely not one of my strong suits. Instead, I’d find out if Rose and Matt were around for coffee or drinks. This lovely couple grew up in Chicago but have since moved to Colorado. I was thrilled when they asked me to shoot their wedding, and even more excited when they told me that they wanted to do a fun, urban engagement session in the city that they grew up in. I love incorporating urban backgrounds into my engagement sessions, so I was glad to oblige! We met up at the edge of downtown Chicago and wandered around the west loop, where there was no shortage of cool environments to shoot in. Rose and Matt were so much fun to work with; I can’t wait for their wedding this summer!

    Fantastic work Steve! You’ve made maximum use of a fantastically eclectic and fascinating environment. I’m a country boy myself but love the well worn details in cityscapes, and this post leaves me wanting to visit Denver myself! Rose & Matt look fantastic too, I hasten to add! :~)
