Yiming and Scott’s Chicago winter engagement session took place in the heart of the Financial District, just a few blocks from the iconic Chicago Board of Trade. We were fortunate to have a mild January day, with temperatures reaching the upper 40s—perfect for capturing stunning outdoor portraits.

The couple is planning two weddings this year, one in Chicago and another in China. While I won’t be available for their Chicago wedding, I was truly honored to photograph their engagement session. Their love and connection made for unforgettable moments in the city’s historic downtown.
