As a photographer, there’s nothing more inspiring than witnessing and capturing the essence of love between two individuals. Recently, I had the honor of photographing a beautiful couple who called the vibrant city of Chicago their home. Our backdrop of choice? The stunning North Avenue Beach, with the mesmerizing cityscape serving as the perfect canvas for their love story.

I’ve always been in awe of Lake Michigan and North Avenue Beach provided a perfect location with the city’s skyscrapers standing tall but nestled along the glittering shores of the lake. The juxtaposition of nature’s serenity and the urban majesty set the stage for an unforgettable photos.

Alley and Carson just recently moved to the Windy City so this was the perfect way to capture this exciting moment for them.
