The Art Institute of Chicago and North Avenue Beach create one of the most beautiful combinations for an engagement session in the city. The timeless architecture of the museum paired with the natural beauty of Lake Michigan offers incredible variety, allowing couples to experience two completely different settings in a single session.

 

Beginning at the Art Institute, we capture elegant editorial portraits surrounded by iconic architecture before heading to North Avenue Beach for soft sunset light and breathtaking skyline views. The result is a gallery that feels both sophisticated and romantic, blending classic Chicago landmarks with genuine moments by the water.

If you're dreaming of a timeless engagement session in Chicago, this combination of locations offers one of the most iconic and versatile experiences the city has to offer.
