Soco & CJ’s Art Institute of Chicago engagement session is one of my new favorites! The architecture at Art Institute of Chicago is just unreal! I was in love with their grand staircase right in front of the European Art gallery and even though it was a bustling Wednesday afternoon when we met up there, it looks like we had the whole place to ourselves! That’s the magic of patience and waiting for a room to clear to get the perfect shot! After wandering around the grand staircase, we walked through some of the galleries and ended up at another stunning staircase in the modern wing that looks like it’s just floating in the air! Soco and CJ were so fun to be around and they’re actually good friends with another one of my Chicago couples, Mary & Matt, and CJ was even a groomsmen in their wedding! After finishing up at the museum, we headed over to the waterfront to finish the session with the city skyline behind us. It was perfect timing as we arrived just before dusk and the buildings were sparkling off the water and all of the city lights were starting to come on! The water was the clearest turquoise I’ve ever seen there and Soco & Cj just popped against the city backdrop!! I’m so excited to head down to the Chicago area and have these two in front of my camera again at their winter wedding next December!!
