Oh how we loved photographing these gorgeous Chicago Waterfront Engagements with Jessica and Kevin! These two are saying I Do in St. Louis this year but we had to take advantage of their current city for these beautiful moments! It was an absolutely gorgeous day! We headed out to Lincoln Park and of course the waterfront with that perfect city skyline in the background!

Here’s a little more from their engagement story, these two are perfect!

“The week of my birthday, Kevin told me that he had a surprise planned for Friday evening. If you know me, you know I love PLANNING surprises, but when I know a surprise is being planned for me, I go crazy because I want to be in on the plan and the details. Friday came, and Kevin told me to dress for a nice dinner. He surprised me by taking me to the cozy, yet very nice restaurant in the middle of Lincoln Park. After dinner, I asked if we could walk home and Kevin mentioned taking a walk around the pond to round out my birthday celebration. At the end of the walk, Kevin began to say the most wonderful things and, to my surprise, got down on one knee and proposed! It was very intimate and was just us and incredibly special! We decided we would call our families when we got back to the condo and, to my even bigger surprise, Kevin surprised me by having my family waiting back at the condo for a celebration. He flew my family up to make sure the weekend was as special as possible! It really was perfect!”
