Summer Engagement Photos in Ashkum, Illinois | Amanda & Drew

Summer nights spent chasing sunsets have my heart!

Meet Amanda and Drew! Their story goes back to high school. They dated and went their separate ways but came back to each other. Now they’re building a life together, planning their wedding day, and raising two beautiful kids alongside each other.

These two found my work this summer after getting engaged a couple of months ago. They are planning their fall wedding day for later this year, so we jumped right into planning engagement photos and all the wedding photography details together! I’m so excited about working with this couple.

A few weeks ago, I loved meeting up with Amanda, Drew, and their kiddos for photos on some gorgeous property outside of Ashkum. They had never had photos of their family, so we started the engagement session with a few family photos then the kiddos hung out with grandma and grandpa while mom and dad took a turn for photos. This location was a little slice of heaven! I had a blast getting to know Amanda and Drew better, chasing their kiddos around, hearing all about the latest wedding planning happenings, and enjoying the summer evening with them. This session was such a good one, and I love the photos that we created!!

Looking forward to the next time I get to photograph Amanda and Drew again on their wedding day this fall!
