I am so in love with the couple on the blog today <3 I’d like to introduce you all to Ben & Jessica, my first engagement session for a 2018 bride + groom. My time with Ben & Jessica was so refreshing during one of the busiest months of the year and I left our time together feeling so filled-up! Jessica picked out the most gorgeous locations at Lake Park in Milwaukee and even braved the chilly temperatures with an adorable little white dress! With a couple this beautiful & a location this amazing, what more could you ask for?!

Ben & Jessica have been dating for almost 6 years but still act like they are in the beginning stages of dating! It always makes me so giddy to see a couple that has been together for 5+ years but are so visibly in love that you’d think the relationship is brand new — holding hands, snuggling up, stealing extra kisses, and the biggest authentic smiles. Love love love!!! This couple has known each other for close to 10 years as they both attended the same high school but didn’t actually start dating until they were at separate colleges. Both Ben & Jess had crushes on each other at different times in high school but the timing was never quite right until the following year when they saw each other again when visiting home from college — so sweet! Everything fell together after that.

These images from Ben & Jessica’s session are some of my favorite because you can see the joy that radiates off of Jess’s face whenever she’s around Ben. Ben keeps her on her toes & they are always laughing together, which is such an important quality to share in a relationship. I just love how happy these two are around each other and it’s truly contagious when you’re with them!

Ben & Jess, I’m SO stinkin’ excited to be your wedding photographer & for our new friendship! xo
