Aiday & Loong | Chicago City Engagement Session

Aiday & Loong are the kind of people that make wedding photography a joyous pursuit. Aiday moves through the world with a smile on her face and kind words on her lips. Loong is gracious and warm, an inviting host and Aiday’s best friend. Together they love to travel and explore, to taste their way around the world and whenever possible to experiment in the kitchen, incorporating ingredients or ideas from their many explorations. Not pictured here are the many tubs of homemade ice creams they treated me to after our session and anyone fortunate enough to know these two will be shaking their head yes right now. Aiday and Loong love to invite friends over to try their delectable creations and now I feel blessed to count among their friends too. But before they fed me Peruvian Coffee and Jalapeno Peach ice cream, they treated me to a tour of their town: Chicago. They’ll be married in Milwaukee in just over a month so it was important to capture some of their favorite places and views, to capture them surrounded by the architecture, gardens, spaces and places they love to call home.
