Playful Fall Engagement Photos at Lincoln Park Nothing says "Chicago" quite like these Lincoln Park engagement photos. Take a peek at this playful November session filled with fall colors.

I'd like to personally thank hotel lobbies, Accuweather, and Tote umbrellas for getting us through the past two wedding weekends. Chicago really went all-in on "April Showers" ☔

But the real MVPs have been my couples. They fully embraced everything Mother Nature threw at them and didn't let the rain put a damper on their day.

If the thought of a rainy wedding's got you stressin', here are 3 quick tips to make the most of your day if rain's on the radar:

1️⃣ Load up on bubble umbrellas. I recommend the bulk packs on Amazon to save some $$. But if you're not a Bezos fan, Target's got ya' covered.

Plan on having 1 umbrella for every 2 people in the wedding party (including the couple).

2️⃣ When you're finalizing your photo locations, ALWAYS decide on a bad-weather backup. My favorite rain-plan spots:
- Museums (like the Art Institute)
- Greenhouses (like Garfield Park Conservatory)
- Historic Buildings (like Union Station)
- Cool hotel lobbies (like Chicago Athletic Club)

3️⃣ Remember that, rain or shine, you get to marry your best friend. 'Nuff said. Mic drop. 🎤

A few weeks ago I met up with Emily and Adam for one of the most epic (and windy!) sunrise sessions I've ever done. These two were non-stop laughs and snuggles while we explored the lakeshore, Lincoln Park, and Wrigleyville. I cannot wait to share more from their amazing engagement session, but in the meantime, enjoy this sneak peek!
