North Ave Beach & Wrigley Building: Chicago Engagement Session

North Ave Beach & Wrigley Building Elegant Engagement Session | Annemarie + Jack

Elegant Chicago Moments: North Ave Beach, Wrigley Building, and More

When Annemarie and Jack reached out to me for their engagement session, I knew it was going to be magical. They envisioned an elegant, Chicago-themed session with a touch of vintage charm, and I couldn’t wait to bring it to life. On a crisp October afternoon in 2024, we started their photo adventure at North Ave Beach and traveled through some of Chicago’s most iconic spots, including the Wrigley Building, the Riverwalk, and the Chicago Theatre. Let me take you behind the scenes of this unforgettable day!

Wrigley Building Engagement Session: Iconic Elegance

Next, we made our way to the Wrigley Building, an architectural gem that never fails to inspire. Annemarie and Jack looked like they walked straight out of a classic movie. Jack’s sharp suit from Charles Tyrwhitt and Annemarie’s elegant dress from Lulus were the perfect match for the timeless elegance of the Wrigley Building.

Underneath its gleaming white stone and twinkling lights, we captured intimate moments that truly told their love story. Whether they were holding hands on the bridge or sneaking a quick kiss in the archways, this part of the session was all about sophistication.

Riverwalk and Champagne Cheers

As the sun began to set, we strolled along the Chicago Riverwalk. This vibrant space gave their session a warm, urban energy. Annemarie and Jack brought a bottle of champagne, popping it open to celebrate not just their engagement, but the journey they’ve shared together. It was a candid and joyful moment that made for some of my favorite photos of the day.

A Grand Finale at Chicago Theatre

We wrapped up at the iconic Chicago Theatre, where the couple’s black-and-white vintage photo vision came to life. The glowing marquee lit up the night, adding a glamorous touch to their final portraits. The Chicago Theatre perfectly complemented their love story—a mix of timeless beauty and modern flair.

Looking Ahead to Fishermen’s Inn

Annemarie and Jack’s wedding day at Fisherman’s Inn in Elburn, IL, as their wedding venue. I already marked on my calendar for October 2025. They envision a perfect fall celebration surrounded by family and friends. With black tuxedos, bridesmaids in rich fall tones, and their love as the centerpiece, it’s going to be absolutely breathtaking. I can’t wait to capture more of their beautiful journey!
