Mark & Katie's Chicago Engagement Session

Katie and Mark met 5 years ago when Katie walked into the shoe store Mark worked at to buy some running shoes. Mark left his number on her receipt and needless to say, the two hit it off! Both are from Michigan but live in Chicago and the two will be wed this July in Grand Rapids (can't wait!). They asked me to come to Chicago to capture their engagement session and what a treat it was. They showed me around several parts of Chicago, including North Avenue Beach, Michigan Avenue, the Chicago River, Fourth Presbyterian Church, and even Molly's Cupcakes! I had never been to Chicago for any extended time and certainly hadn't had the pleasure of photographing there yet. I thank God for safe travels on my drive, amazing clients like Katie and Mark, and the fun opportunity to do photos in a whole new city. Be sure to keep an eye out for their wedding photos! Congratulations, Katie and Mark! Can't wait to photograph your big day in just a few weeks!
