This past Friday officially kicked off my engagement sessions for the year!  I couldn’t think of a better way than with Lydia and Brent’s engagement session at the gorgeous Northwestern University campus in Evanston! After months of rescheduling due to weather (c’mon Chicago!), we were able to find a beautiful spring day for their e-session and even though it started to rain at the end, it was so much fun and you would never know it by looking at the photos!

Lydia and Brent have been together for over 7 years now and first met in their freshman English class. They started dating Lydia’s junior year of college and had their first date on Valentine’s Day in 2008. Brent proposed on the 4th of July at Lydia’s aunt and uncle’s lake house surrounded by her family.  Lydia said, “It was so awesome that he did it on that day and with my family there because we immediately celebrated afterward!”

Below are my favorites from their engagement session this past weekend!! I’m so excited to be capturing their wedding day this September! Guys, I’m counting down the days to see Lydia in her amazing dress and to see Brent’s face when he first sees her! EEK!
