The Chicago Botanic Gardens always offers a great location outside of the city. We love the “architecture” of the gardens.  The secret nooks and grand structures of the trees makes it feel like you could be in the fields of an Italian villa or the French countryside. With its structured gardens, it’s a great option no matter the weather. For all of these reasons and many more, this proved to be the perfect location for a session to celebrate Amy and Jon’s engagement.

This stylish and stunning couple made the session easier than most. We love how they didn’t shy away from bright colors in their outfits, while still adding that extra little bit of effort to celebrate the specialness of being engaged. The textures between the lace of her dress and his linen shirt added a great dimension to the photos. Jon’s style was comfortable being a little more casual, and Amy felt that extra bit of fancy every girl enjoys from time to time. Yet still the couple was coordinated, without looking matchy-matchy.

Of course, we will let the photos speak for themselves…
