I had a terrific Spring day with Erika and Mitchell in Chicago for their engagement session. The wind was actually unusually calm for Chicago until we brought out their wedding date sign and then whoosh, typical Windy City!! :)
We started out taking some street portraits with Erika's lovely skirt on display with the urban background.

We definitely wanted to get a Chicago cityscape shot with their Save the Date wedding banner. This is when our wind kicked in, but with a little patience we got the 10-20-18 to display. The iconic skyscrapers of Chicago of course, are always a breathtaking backdrop.

Mitch just happened to have some Chicago Bears jerseys in his duffle bag (wink-wink), so why not stop by Soldier Field for some football themed engagement pictures. It was literally 71 degrees and sunny as we took our first photo and then suddenly without warning, a swirling wind came off the lake and it was 60 degrees with clouds. Ah Chicago - you are beautiful, awesome and unpredictable!!

After some quick football practice we were back downtown and ready to board the train back to Indiana.
