Everyone take note. This is how you do an engagement session. You don’t need elaborate set ups. You don’t need to spend hours pouring over locations and pinterest only to end up somewhere that neither of you have ever been before.

I’ve always preached that you should do what feels like you guys as a couple. What do you like to do? Great! Let’s do that!

In this case Andrea and Will came down to Chicago from Toronto as they do a few times a year. They often catch concerts or explore the many breweries, so they’ve spent time exploring Wicker Park and love the neighborhood. So that’s what we did!

We started at Emporium Chicago for some drinks and arcade games. We wandered around, checked out the local street art. Snapped some photos, had some laughs and ended at Lottie’s (aka Molly’s from Chicago Fire) for beers. And it was the best day!

It doesn’t have to be complicated. It just need to be about the two of you and it will be great!
