Engagement & Proposals
At BK Rose Studio, we specialize in engagement and proposal photography throughout Lake County, the North Shore, and the greater Chicagoland area.
We serve couples in Libertyville, Vernon Hills, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Glencoe, Wilmette, Evanston, and throughout the Chicago metro area.
This is your love story
Every engagement session is built around you as a couple - your personalities, your story, and the locations that feel most meaningful to you. We have a collection of favorite scouted spots throughout Lake County and Chicago that photograph beautifully in every season, and we're equally happy to work with a location that holds special meaning for your relationship. Whether you want golden hour in the suburbs, a downtown Chicago skyline backdrop, or something completely unexpected - we'll make it work.
Proposals
Planning a proposal? We've got you. We specialize in surprise proposal photography throughout Libertyville, Lake County, and downtown Chicago — coordinating quietly in the background so your partner has no idea until the moment happens. Reach out and we'll put together a plan that captures every second of it.
What to Expect
Engagement sessions are relaxed, fun, and completely guided. You don't need any experience in front of a camera - that's what we're here for. We'll walk you through every pose, every transition, and every moment so you can just focus on each other. Sessions typically run about an hour and a half and can include multiple locations or outfit changes. Your private gallery will be delivered within 5–7 days.

We recommend scheduling your engagement session 3–6 months before your wedding date. This gives you time to get comfortable with us before the big day, and leaves enough time to use your engagement images for save-the-dates, wedding websites, and more.

After your session, a private gallery will be emailed to you within 5–7 days.
-
We provide a style guide after booking. Generally, outfits that complement each other without being too matchy-matchy photograph best. We recommend bringing two outfit options — one casual and one a little more dressed up — to give your gallery some variety.
