A Waterfront E-Session in the Windy City: The Engagement of Brittney and Tyler

In 2019, Brittney and Tyler attended the same HIIT workout class, and they would often hang out with mutual friends from the class. After they went out for music with those friends, Tyler asked Brittney out for a date and the rest is history! Tyler proposed while they were in Destin, Florida for Memorial Day weekend. They were out on a friend's boat waiting for fireworks when Tyler popped the question!
 

When it came time for Tyler to look for rings, he had a little help. "Tyler and I had gone to try on rings together to see what we liked. I ended up loving the classic round solitaire and Tyler got me exactly what I wanted. I love my ring so much!" Brittney raves. We love the elegant simplicity of this classic-style ring!
 

Since Brittney and Tyler met in Chicago and settled on a beach wedding, they wanted to combine the two for their engagement session. They decided on North Avenue Beach, so they could get the beautiful Chicago skyline in the background as well as utilize Lake Michigan. As for outfits, Brittney and Tyler chose to wear white, which allowed for a fun shopping trip. Brittney shares, "The day before our engagement session we went to the mall and found a stylist to help us pick out Tyler’s entire outfit! It was fun day getting a new outfit for the day."

As far as planning goes, Brittney and Tyler are hoping to get married by the end of 2025. They are still figuring out details and the location, but they know they want to get married by the water and, hopefully, in Destin, where they got engaged! "Wedding planning has been a bit overwhelming and stressful as I’m sure it is with most couples. We look forward to our day but are going to do it our way on our timeline," Brittney explains.
