Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Cantigny Park Engagement Session - Rebecca & Talen

---

We’ve been waiting more than a year for an evening like this one. I’m talking even beyond what 2020 was. Every February, when we think about packing up and moving South to warmer temps, it’s evenings like this one that keep us here. It’s our lush green parks, the most beautiful summer golden hours, and the kindest Midwestern couples that keep us put in this neck of the woods. I love engagement sessions because they really do give me a chance to get to know our couples before the big day and start building a relationship, trust, and confidence before we arrive on their wedding day full speed ahead. When I headed down to the Wheaton area for their engagement session at Cantigny Park, one of the very first things they told me was that they really “weren’t picture people”. Anytime one of our couples tells me that, it’s music to my ears. It means their genuine personalities and laid back attitudes will be a treat to capture. There won’t be any extra layers that we have to shed to get down to what really maters about our time together. Their connection with each other won’t be overshadowed by any extra productions.Couples who don’t consider themselves “picture people” are our kind of people! 

This weekend, Illinois was showing off for us. Cantigny Park is one of those local locations that I could never get bored of. So, between the weather, the light from this past weekend, and getting to know Rebeca and Talen a little bit better during their engagement session, it was such a beautiful reminder of what a gift this job is. I think if you work in the events industry in any capacity, this past year most likely played with your psyche to say the least. After getting to spend an evening with these two, I’m more than hopeful about the year ahead and beyond. Rebecca and Talen, we cannot wait for your big day!
