I was working in a coffee shop with Emily when she first met Chris. I remember at the time thinking they were such a cute and perfect couple. It was pretty obvious that these two were crazy about each other. Here we are seven years later and I’m amazed to find that they have somehow managed to become even more adorable and in love than ever!
It’d been entirely too long since I’d last seen these two, so it was not only great to get a chance to photograph them, but to catch up on old times as well. We ventured out to Jubilee Park to try to capture the beautiful snow left from one of our quintessential midwest winter storms. I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with Chris and Emily for braving the bitter cold that day! The arrival of the sun and a quick coffee break helped tame the chill a bit, but it wasn’t until the end of the session that we felt some real warmth at one of my favorite coffee shops in Peoria, Copper River. We managed to snap a few fun shots there as well.

Emily and Chris! Thanks so much for taking the time to catch up and for bearing the frigid weather with me!
