Summer, in my opinion, is the best season to experience the city of Chicago. Whether you live here all year round or just visit occasionally, no other city can stand up to the life that buzzes within the city during summer. Chicago just shines in the warm months – from rooftop dining, to sand volleyball on the beach, to picnics and music in the park. Summertime also means engagement season, as many of our couples wish to capitalize on the beautiful weather to schedule their sessions.
Mary Kate and Mike had both been raised in the Chicago area. It was actually Mike’s sister Kate who introduced these two. Mary Kate had become friends with Mike’s sister when they taught at the same school. October of 2017 Mary Kate wanted to go out to celebrate her birthday and Kate convinced her brother Mike to come along as well. Mike was a little apprehensive due to the fact he had just gotten his wisdom teeth pulled, but was finally convinced to come along anyway. Even with his self-conscious “chubby cheeks” he decided to ask Mary Kate for a date – Mary Kate gladly accepted. Kate had succeeded in setting up her best friend and her brother, and I am sure will continue to take credit as matchmaker.
The Chicago lakefront was beautiful for Mary Kate and Mike’s engagement session and even their pup Augie decided to steal the show for a few photos as well. Congratulations Mary Kate and Mike – we are looking forward to celebrating your festive day together next year.
Session Locations: Lincoln Park South Pond & North Avenue Beach
