I wish I had thought of this fantastic plan for my own engagement session; heading out before the light of day, these two cuties watched the sunrise then headed off to their favorite brunch spot in the city. All the while, DeepEnd Imagery trailed along, capturing all the sweet moments, complete with balloons, tassels and a couple stylish outfits to boot. See it all in our VAULT right this way!
From the Bride… Born and raised in Chicago, my fiancé and I have a great love for this city. But after seeing endless pictures of other engagement sessions with the Chicago skyline, I knew I wanted to have something completely different and unique. After discussing ideas with our photographer, we decided that a sunrise backdrop followed by a brunch session at our favorite restaurant would be perfect!
On September 20, 2015, we woke up bright and early at 5am to get ready to go. We raced against the sunrise as we rushed down the streets hitting every possible red light imaginable. Luckily, we made it to the Montrose Harbor just in time! As we walked towards the lake, we were greeted with beautiful clear skies glowing with orange, pink, and blue hues. This was the first sunrise I’ve ever seen and it was absolutely breathtaking. Afterwards, we headed to Tre Kronor Restaurant. We’ve been having brunch here almost every week for the past few years and it has a very special place in our hearts. We were so thankful the owners let us use their outdoor patio before they opened for their Sunday brunch rush. I am the girliest girly girl you could ever meet, so of course I decided to wear a big tulle skirt I found on Space 46 Boutique! My fiancé, being the dapper man that he is, went with the classic bow tie and suspenders. The balloons that we used definitely played off our outfits and added a whimsical element. I found the giant balloons from the Michael’s Arts and Crafts Store and found the tassels at Target and tied them together.
We couldn’t be happier with our pictures and can’t wait to display them in our future home together!
