One of my favorite things to do in summertime Chicago is walk through the streets, just enjoying this beautiful city! We love Grant Park, the art museum, State Street, the Chicago Riverwalk — all the highlights — but we also love the hidden gardens and pretty parks scattered everywhere. And so this past weekend, when I was walking around the Loop with Ben and Nicky, it felt like summertime Chicago… even though it’s November! Nicky and Ben decided to get their engagement session done while the weather was WARM — and I’m so glad they did! They brought along their sweet pup, Coconut, for a few shots at the beginning of their session in Grant Park, and she was such a sweet, sweet girl! I felt like we captured the very end of autumn here in the Midwest… and WOW, what a gorgeous end!

These two are DELIGHTFUL, so much fun and just the sweetest people! Just look at Nicky’s gorgeous laugh, and the way Ben looks at her when she smiles!! Nicky and Ben are both killing it, working their dream jobs, loving life, and planning a magical winter wedding! It’s going to be beautiful, and we’re thrilled that we get to be the ones to capture it!! Enjoy some of my favorites from their engagement session!
