Kelly reached out to me a few weeks ago looking for, what in my opinion, is the best gift ever for her friends who were eloping – an adventurous engagement session! I recommended a few of my favorite spots, and she decided to let Lindsay + Clay (our eloping couple!), make the final call. They settled on the spot where they got engaged, and boy oh boy am I glad they did. Olive Park it was!

The sun was shining, Chicago graced us with a 60 degree weather day, and I’m not sure what the heck was going on, but we had Olive Park basically all to ourselves (guys – this NEVER happens!). I always suggest either a sunrise or sunset time to my clients because you just can’t beat the lighting, the colors, and the gorgeous effects that the sun can have on images that time of the day. The sunset surely did not disappoint us.

Lindsay and Clay were a dream to work. From the perfect complimenting outfits, to being down for whatever I threw their way, they absolutely nailed our session – which was the first time ever taking professional pictures together (you would never be able to tell!)!

The session was a great kick off to the month count down to their elopement – they’re snagging 10 of their closest friends and family and heading to Savannah this November for an intimate ceremony ✨
