Why Choose the Art Institute of Chicago for Your Photos?
1. Year-Round Accessibility, Rain or Shine
Chicago’s weather can be unpredictable, but the Art Institute of Chicago offers a stunning indoor location that works in any season. Whether you're planning a winter engagement session or a summer elopement, you won’t have to worry about rescheduling due to rain or extreme temperatures.
2. Iconic Architecture & Artwork as Your Backdrop
From the grand staircase to the modern wing’s sleek design, the museum is filled with architectural beauty. Inside, you’ll find masterpieces from Seurat, Monet, Van Gogh, and other legendary artists that add an artistic and elegant feel to your photos.
3. Exclusive Membership Access for Fewer Visitors
One of the biggest challenges with public indoor locations is dealing with crowds. That’s why I offer special membership access hours, which allow us to take photos when the museum is quieter—giving you a more intimate and relaxed experience.
4. Beautiful Natural Light for Stunning Photos
The Art Institute’s skylights and large windows provide gorgeous natural light, creating soft and flattering tones for your photos. Whether we’re capturing candid moments or posed portraits, the lighting enhances the warmth and emotion in every shot.
Tips for Your Engagement or Elopement Session at the Art Institute
- Plan for an early or late session to avoid peak museum hours.
- Dress elegantly to match the museum’s classic and artistic setting.
- Incorporate movement—walk hand-in-hand, admire the artwork together, or share a quiet moment by a masterpiece.
- Consider weekday sessions for fewer visitors and a more private feel.
