So glad to see you here. My name is Kelsey Combe (pronounced comb-bee!) and I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently based in Chicago, Illinois.

About Kelsey

So excited to share images from this fall Chicago North Avenue Beach Engagement! Madison and Dylan are getting married in Michigan this year, but wanted an October engagement in the city they call home- Chicago.

Wrigley Building and Riverwalk Engagement

We started out at the Wrigley Building because I’m absolutely obsessed with the view from this spot. The architecture of this city is truly unmatched in the US. The riverwalk is packed with stunning photo op spots, and we have a blast exploring the pathways as the seasons changed around us.

Chicago North Avenue Beach Engagement

After wandering downtown, we headed over to North Avenue Beach to take advantage of the Chicago skyline views. And fam, I don’t think that a bad time to photograph a North Ave Beach Engagement exists. It’s always stunning. The light is always different but always wonderful. And Lake Michigan seems to always be a different shade of blue, which makes no two photo shoots the same at this iconic spot. Madison and Dylan’s engagement photos give me very “Fall in New York” vibes, and also I think Madison is a doppleganger for Naomi Watts- do you see it?

If you enjoy these photos, make sure to check out this session too, to see how different it looks in a different season! And this one, as well.

"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.
