As a documentary photographer in Chicago, I capture countless unique love stories, but Baltazar and Pilar’s stands out. Coming from the vibrant culture of Mexico, Baltazar reached out with a heartfelt request—to document his surprise proposal against the breathtaking Chicago skyline.

At Milton Olive Park, with the cityscape as a stunning backdrop, Baltazar’s vision took shape. Careful planning and seamless coordination ensured that every detail aligned perfectly for the big moment.

Meanwhile, Pilar and her sister Roico admired the scenic lookout deck, unaware of the life-changing event about to unfold. As Baltazar approached, anticipation filled the air. Then, with the skyline as their witness, he dropped to one knee, professing his love and devotion.

Pilar’s face lit up with a mix of shock and joy. Overcome with emotion, she embraced Baltazar as tears streamed down her face. Capturing this raw, heartfelt moment was an absolute honor.

Congratulations to Baltazar and Pilar! May their love continue to grow, transcending borders and creating a lifetime of cherished memories.
