It’s exciting any time I get to visit one of my couple’s homes (especially when they have fur babies!). This time was especially significant, since that’s where Alyssa & Larry got engaged! They wanted to celebrate their everyday lives together, so for their engagement session we spent the evening hanging out in their neighborhood.

After some alone time with the cats, we headed down the street to Spiteful Brewing for some tasty brews! We talked about our cats, local beer, and their upcoming honeymoon plans. My favorite was when Alyssa & Larry changed into their custom matching Blackhawks jerseys from Larry’s proposal. Photos at the bar were a must!! Shout out to the staff at Spiteful for allowing us to sneak a few photos in here.

The evening could not have been more gorgeous, so we finished our session in Winnemac Park! I loved all the wildflowers and golden light – a perfect backdrop for this couple in love 🙂

Alyssa and Larry were a joy to photograph – this session was a ton of fun! So excited for their wedding day this September!!
