Joseph & Jill’s Romantic Chicago Winter Engagement Photography Session

Their romantic and utterly beautiful winter engagement photography session was nothing but magical and mesmerizing!

There is nothing more magical and romantic than having an engagement portfolio done during the winter season in Chicago, especially when it’s all about the gleaming white and fresh snow! Considered to be nature’s confetti with a glimpse of romance, it is easy to see why all our newly engaged couples consider winter to be the best season for engagement and wedding photography! So, why not embrace the winter wonderland when planning your perfect engagement photo session! 

It’s that season of the year when love is in the air (or we say love mixed with snow). The season full of hopes, promises, festivals, romance, lights, dark tone of majorly red and green making portraits dramatic and stunning! Believed to be one of the most camera-friendly seasons, winter makes couple photography sessions filled with sparkling sunlight, snow, and different tones of red and white palettes (even some dark tones too)! With no harsh midday sunlight or humidity sticking out like a sore thumb, the dramatic character of deep and dark colors mixing with the feel of romance and new beginnings, winter is the best season for couple engagement photography sessions! 

The shorter day of the winter season is all about getting palsy-walsy and cozy in a warm pair of jammies and mittens and preparing for the upcoming winter wedding season! With the beautiful color palette of red, white, and green, the soul-calming and enchanting aroma of hot chocolate and fresh brewed hot coffee and cinnamon tea, and the night of crisp and freezing air engulfing the senses, the lovers of sweater weather prepare themselves for cozy nights by the fire with trailer film collections and seasonal treats. The stunning and majestic backdrops always excite our affordable photographers in Chicago when the season of snow rolls around making it the most beautiful and awaited time of the year! The weather is chilly but offers a surreal setting for the couples who have endless love for snow and chilly air giving them the chance to wear their best photogenic attire out of the wardrobe! 

Festive, seasonal, and even holiday-inspired, a wintery engagement session in Chicago is the perfect and incredible option for all the couples who are looking to add a touch of enchantment to their engagement photos! Plus, the romance of holding each other close while the fresh snow falls around you (just like the glitter confetti) will make you that much more excited to plan your wedding day together and finally say ‘I do’!

Jill finally has found the love of her life or we say ‘the one’. He slipped a beautiful ring on her ring finger and now all he wanted to get the essence of the moment captured in the best of frames with the help of professional couple photographers in Chicago. For a Chicago couple, there are endless possibilities when it comes to the engagement photography session, as Chicago is a beautiful and charming city with unlimited possibilities! Talking about engagement or wedding photography sessions, for any couple, Chicago can feel a bit overwhelming, at first! Huge skyscrapers and streets filled with lovely and beautiful people showcase a whole new set of challenges when it comes to being a wedding or engagement photographer in Chicago. But our cupid-struck couple Joseph and Jill wanted a serene setting filled with endless natural panoramas, so they headed to the Lincoln Park Zoo! Boasting unique gardens, animal habitats, and historic features, Lincoln Park Zoo creates an ideal setting for couples who want to memorialize their special day.

While the zoo encourages visitors to click pictures for personal use, location permits are required when using the zoo’s unique assets as a backdrop for formal posed photography - including for weddings, prom, graduation, professional family photoshoots, and similar events. They usually charge a permit fee of $125 per session, and you need to pay it before your session. It may sound a bit pricey, but do consider that the zoo is a non-profit and free and open every day of the year. Isn’t it a great chance to support your favorite place and make your new favorite memories there? While you are shooting at the zoo, you must be gentle with your surroundings and not molest the animals. And of course, you should not litter or leave any damage behind you. The lush greenery at this tranquil setting can blow anybody’s mind and will give endless photography options to our professional photographers in Chicago. The phrase, ‘the world is your oyster’ comes to mind whenever a couple chooses Lincoln Park for their wedding or engagement photography session! Lincoln Park Zoo literally has it all when it comes to photo ops! While walking through The Nature Boardwalk’s pavilion at the South Pond, you can find many playful locations. Our affordable wedding photographers love the Lincoln Park Zoo’s tortoise shell-inspired geometric stone structure gracefully designed by the famed Studio Gang Architects because when couples stand underneath the archway, the backdrop is lush greenery, a series of the neighboring ponds, and the skyline is distant! 

The beauty of the Lincoln Park Zoo is that it is situated near downtown Chicago! It’s just along the outstanding Lake Michigan. This location is unique as it offers our couple photographers a chance to combine various backdrops. Though it is a simple location yet it offers a lot to our photographers. This panoramic and specific location that every Chicago local loves! And so, does our lovely couple, Jill and Joseph! Upon stepping into the Lincoln Park Zoo, our photographers and Jill and Joseph almost felt an instant transformation from the surrounding city. Our Chicago engagement photographers hit up this location majorly for candid couple portraits during the Chicago wedding photography session, as well! The Lincoln Park Zoo has all the natural elements that can make any normal and ordinary photo extraordinary and unique. This charming and stunning park features trees, fields, a beautiful pond, and surprisingly, farm animals too! Joseph and Jill posed on the whimsical bridge overlooking the water. While they posed over this bridge, the Chicago skyline in the background reflected the river, lending a stunning and mesmerizing composition for their engagement photographs! 

We were super-duper excited to shoot the handsome Joseph and charming Jill’s engagement session at this romantic and tranquil location in Chicago!

Their smiles, the color combination of their clothes, and the entire setting was the sheer example of a romance in a winter wonderland! They were surely enjoying the park and its natural surroundings while posing in the comfort of each other’s arms. We love the picture where they are snuggled under the blanket against the trees that are in the natural renovation process. Ah, so romantic! And the couple portraits where Joseph is standing against the railing with his sweetheart on the grounds against the backdrop of the city's skyline and its skyscrapers! As if her sweet smile stole the thunder from the gleaming Chicago skyline! Our mood was lightened and lit with joy to see how wonderfully our affordable Chicago wedding photographers captured the pleasant and stunning views of the gleaming pond and towering trees wrapped with vibrant greenery and foliage just like a never-ending and beautiful dream!
