MORTON ARBORETUM FALL ENGAGMENT PHOTOS: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: ZACH + HAILEY

My favorite engagement sessions are the ones were we pick a location, like the Morton Arboretum, and then meander. Chasing the sunlight, and peeks of fall colors on the trees. Getting to know each other, and chat about the big day. In some ways it's slowing down to remember your "why are we doing this?" amidst the rabbit hole that can wedding planning.

Zach & Hailey, I'd love to say anytime the warmth of the sun hits your back that you'd endearingly remember this day. But more likely, it will be when a swarm of gnats & mosquitos start to bite any exposed skin. Haha. Ok. So that part wasn't so great. But you guys? Absolutely! Your true friendship was apparent, and also my favorite part of capturing you guys. (:

All the more excited for the big day!
