The North Avenue Beach Engagement of Maddie & Frankie

I met up with Maddie & Frankie at Lincoln Park on the most beautiful evening. After having to postpone their initial session date due to weather, as Maddie said “it all happens for a reason”. It was the absolute perfect evening with a golden sun, gentle breeze, and warm temps.

From wandering the boardwalk to ending our session at North Avenue Beach, it was truly one of the best evenings. We talked about the wedding planning process, their favorite date night spots, and what the beginning of their love story looked like. Getting to know couples more during this time is truly one of my favorite things.

Maddie & Frankie are getting married next September at Whistling Straits and I truly could not be more excited to celebrate with them. This iconic venue will be perfect and based on their plans, it’s going to be an absolutely incredible day.

North Avenue Beach and Lincoln Park are truly so stunning and having the chance to photograph in a both nature driven space with cityscape is the perfect balance. We wandered the boardwalk and the city front taking some of my all time favorite portraits. I truly can not wait for you to see these images!
