BOXED AND BURLAP ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS: LAKE GENEVA PHOTOGRAPHER: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: JOE + GABBY

"Times...and places....are all in...who you share them with."

This more and more resonates with me and has been sort of a shift in the types of events and ways I capture them. Sure, I live near one of the most iconic an jaw dropping cities in the world; sweet home Chicago. But the real and authentic moments I most want to capture for you (because those are in fact what you'll want to hold onto forever!) are often in the little moments; even if they're within the big. Wherever and with whomever they may be. This sweet engagement at Boxed and Burlap Coffee Shop and the bride's parent's house are exactly that. Soaking in a perfect late fall day together. A little reflection of what's to come as we'll be back here to celebrate them with their loved ones next year!
