OH HEY!

My husband, Blake and I LOVE trying new things together; food, hot yoga, downhill mountain biking, you name it! Finding outdoor adventure and all the Marvel movies. I’m a summer girl, line dance regular, morning person -gasp!- and 8 wing 9 for all my Enneagram lovers out there.

Fun fact. I actually met my husband when I was 15! See what chocolate Munchkins, motorcycles and a 100lb sign have to do with it here.

I’M RACHAEL, WEDDING & ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER & SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.

A Spring Engagement in Chicago at Museum Campus: Lauren & Chad

post filed in:

Engagement

“Would you be willing to come downtown Chicago for our engagement session?” We were just coming to the end of our time together when Lauren asked me. “We have this tandem bicycle we love riding together. Do you think we could include that in our engagement session?”

Umm… Yes!!!

Guys. I’ve been looking forward to this session for months! While I always love meeting up with my couples, I especially love when they bring something unique to them.

I met up with Lauren & Chad yesterday at Museum Campus and was not disappointed! One of the best things they shared yesterday was that they actually picked up the tandem at a garage sale for just $100!

I don’t know about you, but I’m officially on the hunt.

Lauren & Chad, I hope you enjoy this sneak peek and thank you so much for having me as your engagement and wedding photographer. I could not be more excited for your big day.

I forgot to ask if the tandem has a name!
Send me your recommendations. I’ll start a list for them. ????

Sometimes you just have to make a game day call and stop. ????
The lighting was too perfect here!

I still can’t get enough of this tandem bicycle. ????

I LOVE this little spot!
Sometimes in the city it can be hard to find locations without foot traffic.
This location was amazing because we were alone and it was beautiful. Most of all though, I loved
all the different elements. The stone work, the greenery and the light… perfect. ????
I’m so glad we walked up this ramp!
