Engagement Session Inspiration
Nothing like kicking off engagement season with Angelica & Brett’s Chicago engagement session—and wow, what a way to begin. From the very first frame, these two radiated love, laughter, and a kind of magic that felt like a rom-com in real time.
Between the golden hour glow on a quiet park bench, their giggles against the skyline, and a little bubbly to celebrate it all, this shoot had everything I love: emotion, intention, and a whole lot of heart. However, what truly made it unforgettable wasn’t just the views or the champagne pop—it was them.
Angelica said it best: “I have never felt so seen and loved consistently like I do with him.” And Brett? “She’s a vibrant candle you hope never goes out.” Honestly, I’m still not over it.
Golden Hour Chicago Engagement Session in the Gold Coast
We began in Chicago’s Gold Coast, strolling through quiet streets as the sun dipped lower. Golden hour was soft and glowing, and while the air had that late spring chill, somehow everything just felt easy. They laughed their way through the neighborhood like it was a date night—just two cuties chasing the light and making it unforgettable.

From there, we headed to North Avenue Beach for skyline views that never disappoint. Against the city lights, Angelica & Brett’s connection shone even brighter because their joy was effortless. With champagne in hand, laughter on their lips, and the Chicago skyline behind them, their evening felt like the perfect blend of celebration and romance.
A Love Story Captured
When I delivered their gallery, Angelica & Brett told me: “Elena we literally don’t even have words….these are beyond STUNNING.” Their joy reminded me why I love doing this—capturing love stories that feel full, meaningful, and completely their own.
