A Spring Engagement at Lincoln Park & North Ave Beach: Lena & Igor

post filed in:

Engagement

One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is the connections that form over time. : ) This is especially true for Lena & Igor! I first met Lena when she was a bridesmaid for Watson Bride Katy. Getting to circle back to Lena now that she is a Bride and getting to capture this sweet season of life was truly special for me. : )

Lena & Igor first met online. The two had a lot in common! For their first date they headed to downtown Northbrook for chocolate from Leonidas Chocolate Cafe. As Lena tells it, they spent so much time talking and laughing together that they shut the place down!

Needless to say, the two have an incredible connection!

Lena & Igor designed the engagement ring together and October 8, 2023, Igor planned the perfect proposal starting with a fun show at The Pearl Club for “Drunk Shakespeare,” dinner and then a sweet proposal at the Swiss Hotel. : )

Lena & Igor, thank you for having me. I loved getting to explore the area with you and LOVED that we were able to spend a little time catching up by our cars after. : ) THANK YOU for having me and… grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!

Lena & Igor, thank you so much for having me as your engagement photographer! I loved getting to catch up with you both and I’m so grateful I get to capture this sweet season of life for you. : ) 

I hope you love your sneak peek and looking forward to sharing your full gallery soon! 

Much Love,
