Chicago Winter Skyline and Urban Engagement Session by Destination Photographer Dolly DeLong Photography

As featured on the Poppedblog, check out this winter engagement session in downtown Chicago featuring the gorgeous Skyline and Urban highlights of the Windy City!

I had a wonderful time visiting the Windy City back in February to help capture some engagement portraits for Ally + Alex! Even though they are tying the knot in Nashville, Tennessee (specifically at The Gorgeous Green Door Gourmet) they wanted to capture some parts of their love story since they live in downtown Chicago. Historically, Chicago is bitterly cold in February but guess what you all? THE SUN WAS OUT (which I heard from multiple sources is not normal that time of year) so it is like the universe was shining down on this couple! Ally and Alex emit a lot of joy and happiness and it just makes my job so much fun when a couple is genuinely so happy and excited to capture some engagement portraits together! At the end of our session we hopped over to Ally + Alex’s apartment to get some pictures with their dog, Dale, so please scroll down to see those cute photos as well! Overall, I had a blast photographing in this (new to me) city, and I am very very very grateful I get to serve couples like Ally and Alex! I am over the moon excited that this session was featured on Poppedblog, and I hope you can be inspired by their session as you plan out your winter engagement session! Thanks for visiting!
