Engagement photography has always been a way to capture the palpable love and sheer excitement of couples embarking on a lifelong journey together. Yet, my recent engagement session at the iconic Lyric Opera of Chicago wasn’t just another day at work. It was a heartwarming reunion with my passion after two months of hiatus, recuperating from a knee injury. And oh, how splendid it was!

Recovered & Recharged! 📸✨

After what felt like an eternity of recovery, I’ve finally returned to what I love doing most—freezing those fleeting moments of affection and joy for couples who are about to begin the most exciting chapter of their lives. The sheer excitement of being back, camera in hand, ready to create everlasting memories for my incredible 2024 couples is indescribable. My knee recovery period was a tough journey, filled with moments of frustration and impatience. Yet, it was also a time for reflection and growth, allowing me to return with a rejuvenated spirit and an even deeper appreciation for the beauty of love and the art of capturing it.

The Magic of Downtown Chicago Engagement Session

Being downtown, especially at the breathtaking Lyric Opera of Chicago, amplifies the magic of these moments. The architecture of the Lyric Opera, with its grandeur and elegance, provides the perfect backdrop for love stories to unfold. The laughter, the tender gazes, and the playful embraces – all of it feels heightened amid the beauty of this location.
