Chicago Photographer | Lauren & Derrick Chicago Engagement Session

Happy Fri-YAY guys! I know I have been slacking on blogging this year. 🙃(I’m going to do better guys I promise .😫) But I figured what better time then the eve of Lauren & Derrick’s wedding to share their amazing engagement session!

I have been looking forward to Lauren & Derrick’s wedding day since we had our initial consultation back in November. All of my couples are awesome but I instantly clicked with these two. One cool thing is that I went to high school with both of them. We graduated a few years apart but we know so many of the same people. I can never complain about not having support because my Hillcrest High School family have been some of the most supportive clients I have had. From hiring me to do their weddings, baby showers, family and maternity photos to just recommending me to their family and friends. Ya’ll are so dope!

Little known fact: Most wedding photographers are also professional people watchers (in the least creepy way possible 🙃😂). We are around couples so much that we tend to pay attention to the way couples interact with each other because a couples vibe has a lot to do with how your photos will look. I love Lauren & Derrick’s vibe together. They compliment each other really well and I’m not talking about just their personalities. They are quite honestly one of the best dressed couples that I have ever photographed. I mean they came to their session with so much preparation and KILLED both looks! I may or may not have taken a few style tips from them for my next shoot with my hubby. 😂My favorite thing to do with my couples is to tell them to love on each other as if I’m not even there. With these two I really didn’t even have to say that. They were full of sweet embraces and laughter. Basically a photographers dream! I am so excited for their wedding tomorrow. I know it will be just as fabulous as this engagement session!
