Lauren & James | Adler Planetarium Engagement | Chicago, IL

I was so excited about this session.  I shot Laura's cousin's wedding a couple of years ago.

I wasn't surprised when Lauren & James ended up being just as awesome as Tara & Jason! Here are a few favorites from their engagement session.

First we headed to North Avenue Beach. I love it there in the morning!

Then we headed over to the Adler Planetarium where you can see the entire Chicago skyline.  So gorgeous!

This is actually the spot where James proposed.

They were on a date at Adler After Dark , and James brings her outside and gets down on one knee.  So romantic!
