Chicago Engagement Session - Lauren & Matt

Usually, when someone asks me what to wear for photos, my go-to response is your favorite cocktail dress and/or a fitted collar shirt. It's a no-brainer situation when it comes to an outfit combo that looks great in just about any scenario (yes, even hiking through the woods!). But that's not Lauren & Matt's vibe, so it just didn't make sense. What did work was how well they pulled off a super casual look while still being completely "camera ready" for their Chicago engagement session. While their engagement session took place in Chicago, I immediately thought of Brooklyn when I looked back at these photos. Fitting given Lauren lived there for a few years ;-)We all tried hard to not make it all about Callie here, but... When you aren't sure about bringing your dog to the wedding, an engagement session is a perfect time to include the full family!
