Some engagement sessions feel less like a photo shoot and more like an honest glimpse into a couple’s everyday life and Elaine and Sam’s winter engagement session in Madison, Wisconsin was exactly that.

For this fall engagement session in Milwaukee, Wisconsin we began in one of their favorite neighborhoods. I always love when couples choose locations that feel familiar. There’s an ease that comes with it. A comfort.

Bridget and Tyler’s engagement session in Chicago was one of those sessions that just felt really really aligned. From the very beginning, Bridget had such a clear vision for what she wanted from the style, to the locations, to the overall feeling and at the same time, she had so much trust in me to bring it to life. That balance is truly a photographer’s dream, and it made the whole experience feel collaborative in the best way.
