Kevin and Brandon’s Chicago summer engagement session was just what I needed before kicking off the busy fall season. You may remember these two from Brandon’s surprise proposal in March of 2021… well, now we’re only weeks away from their wedding date! I’ve been looking forward to getting these two in front of my lens again ever since.

We met in the West Loop to take advantage of some fresh new murals (!!) and summer sunshine. They even stopped traffic with a few signature dance moves in the street! After a quick stroll and an outfit change, we headed to their local Jeni’s for an ice cream treat and the rainbow crosswalks of Boystown. Hanging with these two reminded me how easily they make each other smile – thanks for making my job easy, guys!

As the sun began to set, we made our way toward the lakefront. Fun fact: A week before Brandon popped the question last year, Kevin surprised Brandon by proposing at Diversey Harbor! We couldn’t end our session before stopping there together. Although I’m sure there were fewer ducks in February (and probably more snow), I’m so happy we included this meaningful location as part of their engagement story 🙂

Kevin and Brandon: Your wedding day next month is going to be awesome! Can’t wait to do it again SOON!!
