Chloe & Anthony. From our initial call, I knew these two would be so fun to work with! Their wedding day vision, their love for their sweet dog Penny, and their personalities were all amazing! For their fall engagement session, we planned a fun laid-back start at Hugo's Frog Bar in Naperville where they had their first date! From there we ended their session at one of my favorite locations, The Joliet Bird Haven.

I often say on my welcome calls with clients that I love getting to know the personalities of my potential clients. Having beautiful photos and being familiar with a venue is all fine and wonderful, but having things in common and a good vibe with clients is ideal. On our first call, we discussed tacos, music, theater, and of course, their Firehouse Chicago wedding.
It was a beautiful October day, and it all began at Cubs stadium with some fun poses under the custom sign (who doesn't love that) followed by portraits with their sweet puppy and close friends and private vows at their wedding venue, Firehouse Chicago!

Here are a few of my favorites from their engagement session.
