Our story with Wayne & Kristina began in Greece. Wayne first contacted me for a proposal photoshoot in Mykonos, a beautiful and emotional moment that I had the honor to capture. After that, we kept in touch—and when they began planning their wedding and prewedding in Chicago, they reached out to me once again. This post is dedicated to their unforgettable prewedding session in Chicago, while their wedding will be shared in a separate story.
Prewedding Photography in the Heart of Chicago
The day began with a relaxed atmosphere, filled with laughter, anticipation, and love. Wayne & Kristina’s natural connection made every moment effortless to capture. Their Chicago prewedding photos were not just about posing, but about documenting genuine emotions—smiles, sweet glances, and joyful embraces that tell their story authentically.
Helicopter Ride Over Chicago
One of the most memorable parts of their prewedding session was a private helicopter ride above Chicago. Since Wayne owns a helicopter tour company, this experience was deeply personal to them—and an amazing opportunity to capture breathtaking portraits with the skyline and Lake Michigan in the background. It was adventurous, unique, and perfectly “them.”
Iconic Chicago Backdrops
Beyond the skies, we explored the vibrant streets of Chicago, the Riverwalk, and some of the city’s most iconic spots. The urban atmosphere brought an elegant contrast to their intimate moments, creating portraits that blend timeless romance with the city’s energy.
Sunset by Lake Michigan – Golden Hour Magic
As the sun set over Lake Michigan, we created golden-hour portraits filled with warmth and intimacy. The light was soft and romantic, wrapping them in a glow that made the moment unforgettable. These images reflect not only the beauty of Chicago prewedding photography, but also the effortless bond Wayne & Kristina share.
From Mykonos to Chicago – A Destination Prewedding Story
From a proposal photoshoot in Mykonos to a prewedding session in Chicago, Wayne & Kristina’s journey has been full of unforgettable chapters.
