Summer Engagement Session at the Chicago Art Institute

I finally got to meet Anna and Steven last week for their engagement session at the Chicago Art Institute! After having to reschedule a couple of times due to the museum being closed or for bad weather, we finally were able to make it happen. Anna’s infectious energy and Steven’s admiration for Anna made this session unforgettable. The backdrop of the Art Museum of Chicago and the love that they share was impeccable.

After our time inside the art museum, we headed outdoors to the garden area for a few pictures–and I am so glad we did. The beautiful trees and gardens completely switched up the vibe for the pictures. We ended our time together at North Ave Beach for some pictures with their sweet pup, Riggins!

Scroll through to see some of my favorites from their Chicago engagement session.
