You guys, Halle and Steven had THE most dreamy and romantic engagement session at Museum Campus in Chicago! The lighting, the waves of Lake Michigan, and the love of these two gorgeous people all came together in such a perfect way.  Trust me, after seeing their album you’re going to want to set up an engagement, couples, or anniversary session of your own!

Engagement Sessions at Museum Campus

Before we REALLY get into Halle and Steven’s session, I wanted to talk a little about how great of a location they chose to take their engagement photos at. Museum Campus is one of the most beautiful and unique locations in Chicago, which makes it perfect for engagement sessions. For starters, the campus is huge and full of different historical buildings as well as incredible views. This means that you can have a variety of different backdrop options for your session, or you can stick to one that you REALLY love as Halle and Steven did. Due to the size of the campus, it means that while there are still crowds here, they are much more spread out for something like a sunset session than places like North Ave Beach.

Halle and Steven’s Engagement Session

That’s enough about why Museum Campus is so great for an engagement session though, let’s take a look at Halle and Steven’s session so you can really see what I mean! Halle and Steven chose to have their session on the lakefront of Museum Campus. We had THE perfect sunset peeking through the Chicago skyline during their session which gave such a magical feel to their album. You could really feel the love between Halle and Steven. Between the dancing, the kisses, and all the laughs, the two had SO much fun while surrounded by one of the most stunning locations in the Windy City.
