The perfect night for engagement photos in Lemont! These two are tying the knot later this summer, and I couldn’t be more excited to capture their wedding day!

Meet Emilja & Kent! Emilija and Kent met on a dating app and went on their first date on one of the only warm days in November 2020. They shared that everyone else in Chicago had the same idea that night, so they ended up finding a table outside at a dive bar and talked all night! The rest is history.

This past September, Kent’s brother and sister-in-law were in town for the weekend and told Kent that they wanted to go on a segway tour while in Chicago. Before the “segway tour”, they went out for lunch, a few cocktails, and beautiful views of the city. After getting cocktails, they started walking through Lurie Gardens in Millennium Park to get to the “segway tour”. Kent proposed right in the middle of Lurie Gardens. Emilija said it was an easy yes! Little did she know that her entire family and Kent’s entire family were hiding in the bushes behind them and watching the whole proposal! Instead of going on a segway tour, everyone walked down to the water for a sunset boat ride. The surprise of a lifetime!

These two found my work over the winter after doing a huge Google search for any photographer’s blogs that were shot at their wedding venue – The Brix. So thankful for that search and the opportunity to connect with this amazing, kind couple as they plan their wedding day. We hit it off from the start! It’s been a joy to plan wedding photography details with them over the past several months.

When Emilija and Kent shared that they wanted to have their engagement photos in Lemont this spring, I was all in! Emilija grew up in Lemont, so it holds a special place in her heart. There is such a charming vibe throughout downtown Lemont and so many things happening. What a joy to see! We met in downtown Lemont to start their engagement session in their first outfit and then made our way to the quarries for their second outfit. We even had a pitstop for a beer! Gosh, these locations and photos of this gorgeous couple did not disappoint. This was my first session in the area, and I’m sure I’ll be back.

I loved wandering around downtown Lemont, talking and getting to know these two better, and chasing the beautiful sunlight. We were truly thankful for the most gorgeous evening for Emilija and Kent’s engagement photos in Lemont. So, so dreamy! Thanks for sharing a piece of your hometown with me, Emilija!

So excited to see you two again in August!
