Today marks the very first day in November, which can only mean one thing -- the holidays are quickly approaching, bringing on chilly weather and a whole new crop of fabulous winter weddings!

So, to commemorate the end of fall, we decided it was only appropriate to throw it back and bring you a beachy Chicago engagement session! Shot at Oak Street Beach, a summer hot-spot for native Chicagoans, Elizabeth and Dan's e-session has me longing for a crisp ocean breeze, sundresses and all the wonderful things that make up the simple and carefree days of summer. And having a charming, oh-so-in love couple to look at isn't so bad, either! Congratulations to the soon-to-be newlyweds, who will be tying the knot in just a few short weeks on November 23rd!
