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

Lindsey + Justin Part Two

North Avenue Beach Engagement- For part TWO of Lindsey + Justin’s engagement session, we headed to one of the most iconic Chicago engagement and photo locations – North Avenue Beach! It’s the perfect place to capture the skyline of Chicago. The walkway is long and stunning- and right along Lake Michigan. And even in the busiest of seasons, I can always manage to find a spot to shoot. And a bonus, if it’s a super nice day- you can turn around and get beach photos in addition to the skyline photos. Seriously, you could do an entire engagement session at this one location and have more than enough content and multiple changes of scenery.

Lindsey picked the absolute perfect dress for part two of the shoot. I mean, her part one dress was epic too (view that session here!) but this long, form-fitting, little white dress stuck out perfectly against all the blues of the lake, city, and stormy evening sky. When you choose such a stunning location, it’s important to make sure that you, the bride, are still the main character. And was she ever! (Justin, you were great too!)

And I love that they brought a bottle of champagne to pop and share, at the very end of the shoot. We had a couple mishaps getting it open (who doesn’t?) but we ended up pulling it off big time.

"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.
