Chicago Engagement Session | Brendan + Jasmine | Ward (A. Montgomery) Park

Jasmine and Brendan’s engagement photos turned out to be pure magic. They decided on having an at home engagement session at their apartment in downtown Chicago and at Ward (A. Montgomery) Park, where it’s their tradition to end the day walking their adorable pup. I started by capturing some easygoing, casual photos in their home that really showcased their personalities! Then we packed a picnic basket and walked to the park. Helping my couples choose locations that aren’t only beautiful and photogenic, but also have importance in their relationship is very important to me. It is so much fun for me to get to know you, what is important to you and what makes the sparks fly in your relationship, so that I can capture authentic moments that embody everything you want to remember!

Hi, I'm Samuel, a fine art wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. The day you choose to say "I do" to your partner and start a new chapter of your lives together is one of the most special moments you'll have. This day deserves to be captured artfully and authentically so it can be remembered by yourselves and your loved ones for many years. Providing this for couples brings me so much joy!

My approach to photographing couples and weddings is simple: create an experience where you and your partner can feel completely comfortable and actually enjoy yourselves! I focus on a candid style rather than a more posed or staged style. This means that I like to prompt you to interact with each other in different ways, allowing me to capture your genuine personalities and dynamic. It also takes the pressure off being in front of a camera!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in Chicago, IL who will help you feel free to be yourselves, give you a laid-back experience, and treat you like lifelong friends, we might just be a perfect fit.
