Noah and Leah's Stunning Engagement Session at Lighthouse Beach!


I am absolutely thrilled to share Noah and Leah's breathtaking engagement session with you! Their love story is truly inspiring, and the backdrop of Lake Michigan made it even more special. There’s something so timeless about this location—calm, endless, and beautifully reflective of the love between two people starting their journey together. Lighthouse Beach in Evanston is one of my favorite spots for engagement sessions, and this shoot reminded me exactly why!


A Perfect Location for Love


Nestled against the historic Grosse Point Lighthouse, this location offers the best of both worlds: soft sandy shores and lush greenery just steps away. We wandered along the water’s edge, soaking in the beauty around us. The golden light filtered through the leaves, creating a magical atmosphere. It was the perfect balance of serene and romantic!


Sessions like this are why I adore photographing love stories. I focus on capturing not just posed portraits but the real connection, joy, and anticipation that make an engagement so special. Lighthouse Beach provided us with a stunning canvas, and together we created images that feel both timeless and personal.


Why Choose Lighthouse Beach?


If you’re searching for a location that combines natural beauty with a touch of history, Evanston’s Lighthouse Beach is such a gem! The soft waves, sandy shores, and the iconic lighthouse create a picturesque setting for any couple. It’s a place where you can truly relax and enjoy each other’s company while I capture those authentic moments!


The Magic of Engagement Photography


Engagement photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about telling a story! Each click of the camera captures a moment in time, a feeling, and a memory that will last a lifetime. I love to encourage couples to be themselves, to laugh, and to enjoy their time together. This approach allows me to capture genuine emotions that shine through in the images.


Tips for Your Engagement Session


Planning your engagement session? Here are a few tips to make the most of it:


  1. Choose a Meaningful Location: Pick a spot that holds significance for you as a couple. It could be where you first met or a favorite hangout.


  2. Dress Comfortably: Wear outfits that make you feel good! Choose colors that complement each other and the surroundings.


  3. Be Yourselves: Don’t stress about posing! Just relax and enjoy each other’s company. I’ll guide you through the process to ensure we capture those authentic moments.


  4. Plan for the Golden Hour: The best lighting for photos is during the golden hour—shortly after sunrise or before sunset. This soft light creates a beautiful glow!


  5. Incorporate Personal Touches: Bring along items that represent your relationship, like a favorite book, a picnic blanket, or even your pets!


The Joy of Capturing Love Stories


Being part of such special moments is a privilege! I cherish the opportunity to document love stories like Noah and Leah's. Their session was filled with laughter, joy, and genuine connection. Each image tells a story, and I can’t wait to share more of this incredible session with you!
