It’s the absolute best thing ever being a Chicago proposal photographer! There’s not much I love more than capturing such an exciting moment in a couples lives. Allen came to me with an idea to propose to Rachel on their Saturday morning routine, which I loved! It’s so special when you can turn something causal into the best day ever. Like they say, the magic is in the little things <3

Every Saturday they take a walk over to the Lincoln Park farmers market, get coffee, and then walk around the park. But this morning was a little different, because once they got to the top of the Bridge Over South Pond, Allen popped the question and Rachel said yes! The tricky thing about being a Chicago proposal photographer is capturing the moment while also trying to not have people in the photo! But, I thought the image with the kid riding by on the scooter was funny, and I think it adds to the overall story of this being a true, real moment in life. Sometimes the perfection is in the imperfections right?? Once they celebrated a bit (and checked out that ring!!), we walked around the always stunning Lincoln Park Zoo area, and captured their freshly engaged glow 🙂
