Gilt Bar Engagement: Lauren & Nick
As a Chicago engagement photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing love stories in some of the city’s most iconic and intimate spaces. Lauren and Nick’s Gilt Bar engagement session was no exception, blending modern sophistication with classic Chicago charm. In town from Washington, D.C., for the holidays, this stylish couple brought a timeless elegance to their session, making it truly unforgettable.
Gilt Bar Engagement
We began our shoot at Gilt Bar, a venue known for its moody, vibrant ambiance. Lauren’s chic white suit and Nick’s classic black tux fit seamlessly into the bar’s sophisticated atmosphere. In the library speakeasy, the dim lighting, plush seating, and vintage decor created a cinematic vibe that was perfect for capturing intimate, candid moments. The warm, cozy setting was a welcome escape from the winter chill outside. Gilt Bar provided a stunning backdrop for photos filled with romance and personality. If you’re considering a unique and stylish location for your engagement photos, a Gilt Bar engagement session is always a winning choice.
Wrigley Building
After soaking up the incredible ambiance at Gilt Bar, we braved the cold and hopped in an Uber. We headed to the Wrigley Building. The couple specifically wanted photos in front of the building’s classic gold doors, and it’s easy to see why. The elegance of the gold details paired perfectly with their formal attire. The vibe created a timeless aesthetic that felt straight out of a black-and-white film. Despite the frigid temperatures, Lauren and Nick’s love and energy shone through. We captured some truly magical moments against the building’s stunning architectural backdrop.
As a Chicago engagement photographer, sessions like this remind me why I love what I do. From the moody allure of a Gilt Bar engagement to the grandeur of the Wrigley Building. Chicago offers endless opportunities to create something extraordinary. Lauren and Nick’s session was a celebration of love, style, and the city’s unique charm—a perfect combination for unforgettable memories.
