The holidays are a time for family and friends, an opportunity to surround yourself with the people you love. How fitting to be able to have an engagement session during this holiday time! We’re so happy that we were able to capture some time with Jordan & Joel. It was a joy to celebrate their engagement in downtown Chicago.
Jordan & Joel currently live in San Francisco, and will soon be celebrating their nuptials in both cities. They were back in Chicago for the holidays, and wanted to capture their story in the city they called home. A love of architecture and a want for holiday flair made downtown an excellent choice!
By meeting in the morning, we were able to enjoy the quiet of downtown before the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping. We started at the Chicago River, enjoying the city backdrop and the timelessness of the bridges. We then headed further downtown to the Christkindlmarket Market, a Chicago holiday staple! The cool winter morning provided the perfect amount of romance, with lighting that allowed the holiday lights to shimmer. These two lovebirds were able to feel like it was just the two of them.
We’ll see these two again this summer as we capture both their San Francisco and Chicago celebrations. We can’t wait!
Take a look at more downtown Chicago moments!
