CAN WE HAVE A DESTINATION ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

So you’re having a Chicago wedding but you’re dreaming of having a destination engagement session and you’re wondering if that’s even possible. Maybe in your wildest dreams you’d be in Iceland in some killer gown, or in New Zealand, or in the streets of Europe somewhere, but how do you make that a reality? Suddenly that dreamy idea becomes overwhelming. Where do you actually go? How do you find a cool spot? Will you need a photo permit? Do you need to hire someone completely different? How do you find them? Depending on the country, will you even speak the same language?

Well I’ve got some good news for you, because not only do I offer that option but I LOVE that option and I’m here to guide you!! Actually, if you want to do that, you’re pretty much guaranteed to become my new favorite person ever because I ADORE travel and discovering new places. Photographing different landscapes (and people in love in them) is pretty much my favorite thing to do. As a side bonus, traveling together to our destination actually makes us closer – that’s how Liam, Arnel and I got to become friends really (their amazing Brussels engagement session below. We got up early enough to have the streets of the city to ourselves. I mean, are you dying?! I was DYING!!!) So what do you say?! Let’s get on a plane together and let’s go!! ✈️😍
