Snowy UIC Engagement Session (Featuring Cute Kittens!) – Amanda & Jon

Amanda and Jon’s snowy, romantic UIC engagement session was no accident. The day we first met, they described their vision for nighttime engagement photos on campus in the snow! As you might guess, this took lots of weather-watching, coordination, and a couple last-minute reschedules. But to our luck: one February evening, we finally made it happen 🙂

Something I quickly learned about these two was that we possess a similar obsession unconditional love for our cats! Of course, some photos at home with the felines was a must. I was genuinely surprised at how friendly Twill and Hannah were toward a stranger on their turf. They may have been confused at times, but with a little catnip and some cuddles, we successfully captured their family photos! Photographing a couple at home in their element is one of my favorite things. Especially for couples who may be camera-shy at first – I highly recommend starting at home!

At dusk, the light flurries were turning into snow, and it was time to head to campus. It was dark when we arrived, and Amanda was immediately nostalgic! This night was exactly what they wanted, reminiscent of the winter they fell in love. They took me around campus and relayed stories of their student days. These two are the real deal in love – and I can’t wait for them to tie the knot this summer!!

Amanda and Jon: I’m so happy we could make this session happen (shout out Tom Skilling)! Thanks again for having me, your August wedding is going to be a blast!
