When Jim started planning how he would propose to Autumn, he knew just where to do it.  Though they currently live on opposite sides of the country, in a few months they will be meeting in the middle with a move to Chicago.  Their new home seemed like the perfect place to surprise Autumn with the perfect proposal.

It didn’t take long, however, for him to realize that planning something special from across the country wouldn’t be easy.  Jim enlisted the help of CityGirl Weddings to help him create something truly special.  Shar from CityGirl brought in some amazing partners, including Lifemadepretty who provided the gorgeous florals and the perfect, romantic, setup.  It was truly like a dream, one of the most romantic proposals we have ever seen!  We were absolutely blown away!

Jim and Autumn started out with dinner at North Pond restaurant.  As they finished, they walked up through Lincoln Park where they were serenaded by a guitar player, and on to this romantic setting where Autumn found a bottle of champagne and a personal poem that Jim wrote just for her.  Jim got down on one knee, and of course, Autumn said yes!

We are so excited to share these images with you!  Jim has raised the bar for romantic proposals, and we cannot thank Citygirl Weddings enough for inviting us to capture it!
