Amanda and Shaun’s engagement session in Lincoln Park was a perfect mix of romance, laughter, and natural beauty. I first met Shaun when I photographed Jim & Ashley’s wedding earlier this summer—where he was a groomsman and shared a hilarious moment that made the wedding even more memorable. When Shaun and Amanda asked me to document their wedding next summer, it felt like the perfect fit.

A Lincoln Park Engagement Session Full of Personality

Lincoln Park is one of the best engagement session locations in Chicago, offering lush greenery, city skyline views, and a mix of classic and modern backdrops. We started our session near the South Pond, where the golden light filtered through the trees, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere. Amanda and Shaun, both teachers, brought a warm energy that made capturing their connection effortless.

Capturing Candid Moments in a Natural Setting

One of the best things about engagement sessions is documenting genuine moments between couples. Amanda and Shaun were playful and relaxed, which made for some incredible candid shots. Whether strolling along the park’s winding pathways, sharing a laugh near the honeycomb pavilion, or embracing with the Chicago skyline in the background, their love shined through every frame.

Why Lincoln Park is a Top Choice for Engagement Photography

Lincoln Park offers an incredible variety of backdrops, making it a favorite for engagement sessions. With a blend of nature and architecture, couples can enjoy stunning outdoor scenery while still incorporating the energy of the city. Some of the best locations include:
