A+J Engagement

This was THE coldest I've ever shot in. Seriously, it was 15 degrees out!(!!!!) We had to take a couple of breaks in the car to warm up, but thank goodness this couple was so brave and cooperative, because their photos turned out just magical!

We decided to hold the session at Danada House/Danada Forest Preserve in Wheaton. This location is always so private and quiet. Aside from it being below-freezing, it looked like a winter wonderland there! No one had set foot in the new-fallen snow, and it was just gorgeous.

Check out some of my favorite images from their session below!

E+N Engagement

I went to school with Erica since grade school and was so honored when she messaged me, asking me to photograph their engagement and wedding! She and her fiancé are the cutest and their engagement session reflected that. They drove from Ohio, where Erica moved to be with Nick last year, for their session. We went to Cantigny Park in Wheaton at 9:00am (my favorite sessions take place in the morning!), and it was 20-something degrees. They both braved the cold and took their jackets off in between poses. Their faces and hands were cold, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at their photos! They were so sweet and fun to work with, and made getting up at 8:00am so worth it! I'm very much looking forward to their wedding in November and can't wait to share the documentary of their special day on here with you all!
