It’s a 21st century love story: Inga and Evan met on Match.com and have been inseparable ever since. They got engaged after two years of dating, and now Inga, an IT consultant, and Evan, who works in consulting, are ready to make it official.

Cantigny Park was the perfect setting for their shoot, as the pair shares a mutual love for nature and spending time outdoors. This love of nature even played a role in their relationship. They noted that looking back, their favorite memory of the proposal is how well it fit them and their shared passions.

It happened on a warm summer morning, when they went for a walk in a nearby forest preserve. They were strolling along and talking about their future together, when Evan went down on one knee and popped the question.

Inga and Evan share a mutual love of the outdoors, dogs, and wolves. In fact, this is what brought them together in the first place. Evan’s interest was piqued when he saw that Inga’s mom had a dog that was half wolf. When he kept asking her about her mom’s dog, she knew he was the one, saying it showed her that “he loves dogs just as much as I do.”

According to the couple, a major reason their relationship is so special is how comfortable they are around each other. Even just seeing the way they look at each other, the warmth and ease in their relationship is clear. 

Their relationship has been filled with fun and adventure, and they can’t wait to keep that going forever. “We never have a dull moment with each other,” Inga said. “We can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together and explore the world.”
