Throwing it back to last fall on the blog today! Bree reached out to me last year about shooting her and Jarod’s engagement pictures. They were planning a wedding closer to her childhood home (Pennsylvania!) but wanted to get their engagement photos done in Chicago- where they lived and fell in love. A Lincoln Park fall engagement session seemed like a perfect match. We planned on hitting up the iconic Lincoln Park spots, like the bridge over South Pond, and the Honeycomb, and then heading to Fullerton Beach Park to grab some city skyline photos!
Lincoln Park is always a good idea, but especially during peak foliage- and Bree and Jarod lucked out with that! The light was perfect and the trees were perfect. And these two are quite literally the most lovely people. It was such a pleasant afternoon to spend wandering the beautiful foliage and chatting.
Fullerton Beach, which is right by Theater on the Lake, is one of my favorite “hidden gem” spots for engagement photos in Chicago. It provides very similar backgrounds to North Ave Beach, with much less chaos (and way fewer photoshoots happening!).
It was definitely a windy, chilly, fall day, but we took advantage of the waves crashing and wind blowing to create some really special moments.
If you enjoy this Lincoln Park fall engagement, be sure to check out THIS North Ave Beach session with similar vibes! And a huge congrats to Bree and Jarod who were just married this past weekend!
Enjoy!!

"Kelsey Combe is truly amazing! From the moment we hired her, she was professional and fun to work with. She has an unbelievable talent for what she does, and after our engagement photos came back, we knew we had 100% made the right choice hiring her as our wedding photographer. She was responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and was happy to answer any questions (and like most brides, I had a lot). She perfectly captured our day - it was like the photos came to life to tell our wedding day story. All of our friends and family were in awe. We could not have been happier with everything!
"Hiring Kelsey was the BEST decision!"

"Kelsey made everything so straightforward, and the day of the wedding, she was a godsend. Despite the 90+ degree heat, she kept everything on schedule to the minute. She took so much of the stress out of the day, keeping us all relaxed. I really can't recommend Kelsey enough!"
"The absolute best!"

Kelsey was more than just our wedding photographer! She helped keep everything on schedule, keep our bridal party and family organized for pictures, and even clean my dress multiple times as it got dirty walking on the streets of NYC. As the bride, she made me feel so relaxed and stress free on the day of the wedding, any bride's dream! Also, Kelsey's pictures are AMAZING!! We were so happy when we got them back, she truly captured every single detail of our wedding day so it felt like we were reliving the day.
