Well hello there and happy November! Today I have a Chicago Union Station engagement session for you to enjoy! With seriously the prettiest couple of all time- Megan & James.
Megan and James wanted a very classic look for their Chicago engagement photos. We decided to make that happen with a series of locations, starting with Chicago Union Station. It’s an iconic spot in the City, filled with stunning architecture and beautiful stairways. And the outside of it is nearly as spectacular as the interior.
It was a very cold day, but that didn’t stop us from grabbing a bunch of exterior shots before sneaking inside to warm up a bit!
Pictures of couples running through the streets of Chicago are always favs of mine, so that’s what we did. It was bitterly cold, but that inspired us to move a lot, and I think images with movement in them are the most magical for capturing feelings well. The shots taken on the bridge are some of my all-time favorites!
Megan and James really wanted to capture the Chicago skyline in their photos, so we hopped over to Theater on the Lake and Fullerton Beach to grab some. We also did an outfit change that included jackets, thank goodness. Cause fam, it was MISERABLY cold. The final portion of our Chicago Union Station engagement session took a total of 10 minutes, because we literally could not have handled more time. But I love that the wind and chill played a character… and Megan and James rocked it.
Despite the freezing temps and windchill, this was one of my very favorite sessions of the year! Love you two! Enjoy re-living this magical day!















And off to the Chicago Lakeshore we went!

"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.
