I drove to Bloomington, Illinois this past weekend to meet up with Matt & Lauren for their darling backyard engagement session and was blown away by not only our fabulous location, but just how genuinely sweet these two are. Lauren simply overflows with joy – and Matt loves and cares for her in the most gentle and beautiful way. When I arrived at their session, Lauren told me that they were nervous because they aren’t very photogenic, and I have to say that I completely disagree with her! ;) The love that they share is just precious and the most natural thing in the world to photograph! I’m so excited that these two get to spend forever together! I can’t wait to head back to Bloomington next month and photograph these two on their wedding day!! So much to look forward to!! But for now – enjoy these precious, joy-filled, summer images of the sweetest couple!

Much love,

Jessica Lauren
