Ashley and Mason’s engagement session was nothing short of magical. We spent the evening exploring two of Chicago’s most iconic locations—the elegant Wrigley Building downtown and the scenic stretch of North Avenue Beach with the city skyline as our backdrop.


The night had a soft glow that wrapped everything in a romantic haze—literally. We were a little nervous about the lingering haze from the wildfires that had rolled in a few days prior, but it ended up adding a dreamy, almost cinematic look to the photos. Sometimes nature surprises you in the most beautiful ways.


Ashley came into the session with a clear vision, and she brought it to life effortlessly. Her eye for style and detail elevated the entire shoot. From her stunning outfit choices to the way she and Mason naturally connected in front of the camera, every moment felt authentic and full of joy.


We started at the Wrigley Building, where the timeless architecture set the stage for a classic, romantic vibe. Ashley and Mason strolled hand-in-hand, sharing laughter and sweet moments that made capturing their love story so easy. As the sun started to dip lower, we headed to North Avenue Beach where the city lights began to twinkle behind them. The lake, the skyline, the sand between their toes—it all came together for the perfect ending to their session.


Ashley and Mason, thank you for trusting me with your vision and for being such a joy to work with. Your love is beautiful, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both!
