Lauren and Matt live in the area right across Belmont Harbor in Chicago, and they wanted their engagement session to have that feel of the city they love. We spent some time with their sweet dog finley, and then took a walk around their neighborhood. Lauren and Matt are so laid back, kind, and caring towards one another. I had such a blast photographing this session and can’t wait for their wedding next summer!
OMG! I love them I can’t even decide on favorites! I like the black and white on the rocks and the one on the bench with our dog. Thanks so much Katherine!!! This is such a nice preview for the wedding :)
Loved them all! You guys (and Finley) are adorable!
