Elizabeth + Saylor Engagement

I am getting SO excited about my 2020 wedding couples! I know it's going to be an incredible year. When Elizabeth and Saylor joined the roster, I was thrilled! This sweet, intelligent, and beautiful couple were so wonderful to photograph for their engagement session, that I am just counting down the days until their wedding next year!

Elizabeth and Saylor grew up together in the same small town in Monticello, IL (which is where I also grew up and I hold near to my heart). They started dating in school and have been together ever since. It only seemed fitting that they get married at Allerton Park in Monticello and photograph their engagement photos there as well! Elizabeth just graduated with her doctorate in pharmacy from St. Louis College of Pharmacy and is currently working as a pharmacist. Saylor studied biomedical engineering and currently serves as a Staff Engineer in Boston. Amazing, right?! It is so impressive to see what this young couples has already accomplished in their lives!

When Elizabeth, Saylor, and I met for the engagement photos, we were on the brink of a rainstorm. Despite the not ideal weather, they had such a positive and flexible attitude- which made the session so much fun! They were willing to take risks with different poses and had such a natural and undeniable chemistry between the two of them. So many of the best shots I took during their engagement session were natural and authentic moments that the two of them had without direction from me. You can truly feel the love between this sweet couple.

Congratulations, Elizabeth and Saylor, and I can't wait until your Allerton Park wedding next year!
