I am so excited to share this engagement session with you! There are many reasons but mostly because I just love these two! Bri and I go way back and have known each other since our middle school days where we were in the same youth group. Since then she has grown into a dear friend who I think the world of. I remember seeing a picture of her last year with Aaron and knowing right away there was something between them. It was just a simple smiling picture but I could see it all over Bri’s face that this guy was special. From there I would hear more about Aaron and a relationship blossomed. What I love about these two is the depth and maturity in their relationship. They know that marriage is so much more than just a lovey dovey feeling and about a lifelong commitment to serve each other and model Christ. Bri says what she loves about Aaron is not just that she has this mushy, weak in the knees feeling toward him (which is clearly apart of it. Just look at her face in these pictures!) What she loves about him most is that he is a leader and a strong man of God and she knows how important that is to have a rich in love, beautiful marriage. This was my first time seeing them interact together and there couldn’t be a better man for my friend.  What they have is something so beautiful and I admire that so much! So when we were planning the engagement session, Bri suggested Starved Rock as it was a special place to them. They have spent a lot of time hiking there and even got engaged! We had so much fun that afternoon exploring the park and we got some of my favorite engagement photos ever! So enjoy seeing these two and a glimpse of their love through pictures

Bri!!! What a beauty!!

One of my favs!

How cool is her ring?! It is so them and I love it!

Outfit change! It was so funny because I told Bri I hoped one of her outfits was with a cardigan and a scarf because that is what I think of when I think of Bri. I love her style!

I can’t handle them! So in love and it is all over their faces!

Now this is cool! We found the exact spot they got engaged. They weren’t sure they would be able to find it as it was off the trail a little bit but after some searching they found it! These are some of my favorites and I know how special it is to them. I love the roots in the picture too!

They found a tree that already had their initials carved in their engagement spot. So weird yet amazing!

And then come the canyon photos. It was so beautiful down there!

I LOVE this picture of Aaron! He seriously just looks so cool!

Hello internet world! This blog has been pretty quiet this summer but I am excited to get back to it and share all of the amazing sessions and weddings from the past few weeks!
First up is one of my favorite engagement sessions! I went to high school with Heather and I have had so much fun having her and Ryan as clients. Heather is one of the sweetest people ever! And she loves photos just as much as I do. So that makes my job even better! Even in our emails, I would be smiling because of all of her excitement. I love people like that. Ryan just adores her as well and I love seeing the two of them together. Heather wants a nautical theme for her wedding and had a suggestion to do their engagement pictures in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I had never been but when I saw pictures I fell in love. Then when we got there I was freaking out. I think I just kept saying this is amazing over and over. It was so beautiful! It is a photographer’s dream with so many locations in one spot. I loved that these guys interacted so well that I barely had to even pose them. It was a fantastic day and time I won’t forget!

Heather’s brother and his girlfriend came along to help so we had to get some group photos!
