North Avenue Beach, Chicago Engagement Photos | Sunrise Chicagoland Photos| Sara + Johnny

Waking up before 4am for a sunrise engagement session sounds a little crazy, but I am so so glad Sara + Johnny were up for it! After having to reschedule their engagement session two different times due to this crazy Spring weather, an early morning session was absolutely perfect!

North Avenue Beach (and the drive up to the city) were so peaceful. It felt like North Avenue Beach was our own private beach since we were the only ones there! It was a little chilly when we began our session at 5:45am, but these two were such troopers! Johnny’s brother came along to help take care of their dog, Stella (when she wasn’t getting her photo taken too)! Stella was such a good girl and even smiled for me-just wait until you see that photo a little further down in the post!

Sara + Johnny will be getting married in November at one of my favorite venues! I just can’t wait for their wedding day-I know it will be beyond perfect!

Thank you so much for choosing me as your wedding photographer, you two!! I’m counting down the days ’til November! <3
