Lauren and Mike stumbled upon us on Pinterest, drawn in by the Chicago Engagement Photos we did for Annelise and Jack. They loved the style, the emotion, and the genuine moments we captured. Lauren and Mike felt like our photos really spoke to them. They knew their love story had to be documented just as beautifully, especially in Chicago, a city they both adore. We were super excited when they reached out, eager to capture their special moments.

A Magical Start at the Art Institute

Their engagement session kicked off with our awesome photographer Megan at the Chicago Art Institute. This place is known for its incredible architecture and art, making it a perfect spot for photos. Lauren and Mike’s chemistry was on full display among the stunning artworks and elegant hallways. One standout moment was when Lauren twirled in Mike’s arms, capturing their joy and connection perfectly. The art institute added a touch of class and beauty to their photos, making them extra special.

Chic Moments at Chicago Theatre

Next up was the iconic Chicago Theatre. Lauren and Mike looked super stylish in their chic sunglasses, posing in front of the theater’s historic marquee. This location really brought out their playful and fun-loving sides. The mix of the theater’s grandeur and their modern vibe made for some amazing photos that were both chic and nostalgic. The marquee lights and the theater’s details highlighted their unique style, adding an old-school charm to their session.

Romantic Scenes at the Riverwalk

We then headed to the beautiful Chicago Riverwalk, with its stunning views of the city’s skyline. Lauren and Mike shared some intimate moments here, with Megan capturing their love against the urban yet serene backdrop. The river reflecting the sunset and the cityscape behind them made for some truly romantic photos. These shots were filled with laughter, tender looks, and loving embraces, perfectly capturing their deep bond.

Sweet Endings at Cocobar

To end their session, Lauren and Mike grabbed some yummy treats at Cocobar by the river. This cozy spot added a sweet, personal touch to their photo collection. The candid shots of them laughing, sharing snacks, and just enjoying each other’s company were the perfect way to wrap up their day.
