Lauren and Patrick both grew up in Springfield, but didn’t officially meet until after college when they moved back to the area and participated in community theater where they landed parts in the same show–the rest is history! They have sinced moved to the big city of Chicago, but it was important for them to have engagement photos taken in their hometown. I absolutely loved getting to know them while we explored downtown Springfield a bit. It is so obvious how comfortable and happy they are with each other!
