Sarah & Matt | Chicago Engagement Photographer at Millennium Park

Sarah & Matt will tie the knot in Sarah’s home state of Wisconsin next year but for the last several years (and for more to come) Chicago is home. Avid Blackhawks fans (as in season ticket holder fans) and city explorers, Sarah & Matt are a sweet combination of big hearted, sporty and uptown. When I hopped in Matt’s car on our session day I sat next to his hockey gear, evidence that he doesn’t just love to watch – he loves to play. And Sarah is the same, a personal trainer and runner she ended our session with a strategy talk on how to wear heels to work but still run home at the end of the day. For their engagement session they decided to show me some of “their” Chicago so we wound our way from Millennium Park’s wildflowers and waterscapes to their neighborhood Hawks diner to sample some of their favorite dishes (double french toast and a BLT with a side of bacon, yes please) meeting their fur babies along the way. The landscape was beautiful, the animals adorable, the food delicious but really it was Sarah & Matt’s obvious enjoyment and delight in one another that kept me interested.
