Winter transforms the city. Familiar locations feel quieter, moodier, and more intimate. Fresh snow soften the skyline, holiday lights add warmth, and even overcast skies create beautifully diffused light that's flattering and editorial.

While temperatures may drop, our winter sessions are designed to prioritize coziness and connection. We focus on shorter timeframes, lively movement prompts, and regular warm-up breaks to ensure that every moment remains authentic and enjoyable. The intimacy of bundling up together cultivates genuine connections, leading to beautiful, spontaneous moments. And if we're fortunate enough to be graced with snowfall? That's just the cherry on top. Snowflakes enhance the atmosphere with a magical, soft allure that simply cannot be captured in any other season.

Rebecca and Andrew

Our couple, Rebecca and Andrew, exuded elegance during their engagement shoot. Rebecca adorned herself in a stunning white silky dress, perfectly complemented by a luxurious white faux fur wrap. Andrew looked sharp in his classic wool coat, creating a timeless aesthetic that beautifully highlighted their love story.

We embarked on an exhilarating outdoor adventure, beginning at one of our favorite locations for stunning photography: Millennium Park. Our visit featured the iconic Cloud Gate, affectionately known as “The Bean,” where we captured its reflective beauty. We also wandered through the enchanting Lurie Garden, a true oasis nestled in the city landscape. Each shot was a masterpiece, framed against the breathtaking backdrop of the Chicago skyline, showcasing the perfect blend of nature and urban elegance.

To warm up after our outdoor session, we transitioned our photoshoot to the exquisite Chicago Cultural Center. This breathtaking venue not only provides a cozy atmosphere but also serves as a stunning backdrop for your photography needs. At R.E.M. Video and Photography, we understand the importance of a perfect setting, and the Cultural Center's architectural beauty and rich history offer just that.
