Chicago Engagement Photos at the
Wrigley Building and Riverwalk
Dreaming of engagement photos that balance romance with a touch of fun? The Wrigley Building and Riverwalk are the perfect backdrop. Between the architecture, city views, and space for personal touches like popping a champagne bottle + deep dish pizza, this downtown Chicago session shows exactly how to celebrate your love in style.
The Wrigley Building is one of Chicago’s
most recognizable popular landmarks.
That creamy white façade and timeless design make it the perfect backdrop for romantic city engagement photos. We started our session here, letting the couple wander, laugh, and steal kisses under the famous archway. These portraits have that Chicago classic feel while still capturing natural, candid moments.
Stop by on a weekend summer afternoon, and don’t be surprised if you run into a wedding party posing for photos.
Chicago Riverwalk adds a cinematic touch
Nothing says we’re engaged like popping a champagne bottle! It brought so much energy and those candid moments that ended up being some of the couple’s favorite shots.
Tip for couples: bringing champagne, going for coffee, or even some fancy cocktails is a fun way to make your engagement photos personal and relaxed.
