Emma + Mitchell | An Artful Experience at the Museum | The Art Institute of Chicago | Chicago, IL

July 3, 2025

The years passed in an instant as they strolled through the exhibits. Different eras with unique perspectives decorated the halls, each one calling to the patrons as they passed by. As Emma and Mitch perused the paintings, it felt as if they were taking a tour through their second home. After spending many afternoons exploring the halls of the Art Institute of Chicago, it seemed only fitting that this would be the place where their love would be captured for their engagement, as they inched ever closer to their wedding day. The city itself became its own art piece as the last rays of sun combined with the architecture. The Chicago River and its stunning views called to them; the perfect capstone to their evening.

Emma and Mitch, words cannot express how perfect you two are for each other. The comfort and energy you infuse into each other is both felt and seen throughout your engagement photos. From the first walk up the stairs, we felt as though we were simply onlookers who happened to find a couple in love on yet another date on the road to their wedding day, and it’s a day that we are so excited to spend with you soon. From asking onlookers to help us with photos, to trusting us with creating some real-life art, it truly felt like a double date through Chicago with you two. Thank you for sharing your love of art, your love for your city, and your love for each other with us; we are so ready to capture it again next year at Notre Dame!

See you soon!

J + A
