Katie and Austin

Engagement

Wheaton, Illinois


There's something magical about capturing the love between two people, and Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL, proved to be the perfect backdrop for this engagement session. With its rich history, sprawling gardens, and timeless architecture, Cantigny offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, providing a serene environment for these intimate moments.


From the moment we stepped into Cantigny, it is always clear why this park is such a beloved destination. The carefully manicured gardens, lush greenery, and vibrant blooms offered a stunning variety of backdrops. Whether we were wandering through the stately rose garden or standing beneath the towering trees, every corner of the park presented a new, breathtaking scene.


The soft glow of the early morning sun cast a golden hue over the couple, highlighting their connection. It was the perfect time to capture the tender, candid moments that happen between posed shots – a shared laugh, a soft glance, and those small, intimate gestures that show how deeply they care for each other. The contrast between the formal gardens and the wilder, untamed sections of the park allowed us to create a variety of moods, from romantic and elegant to fun and playful.


Capturing this couple’s engagement at Cantigny Park was truly a joy. Their love for each other shines so brightly throughout the session, and the stunning backdrop of Wheaton’s Cantigny Park added even more magic to the day. As they prepare for their wedding in August, these photos will serve as a timeless reminder of their journey together, and I feel so honored to have been a part of it!


If you’re looking for a location that blends natural beauty with historic charm, I highly recommend Cantigny Park for your engagement photos. It’s a place where every season brings something new, and every corner has a story to tell. I can’t wait to return for more sessions at this beautiful spot!
