Fall engagement sessions are pretty popular in Wisconsin — it makes total sense because the range of colors is incredible. Months & months ago, Ashley contacted me about scheduling their engagement session for a warm fall day. It was so far in advance that their session was actually the very first engagement session on my schedule for October. When October finally rolled around, I received an email from Ashley saying that Kyle had shattered his ankle and they’d have to reschedule their session since Kyle was just coming out of surgery. My heart broke for Ashley & Kyle because I knew how badly they wanted fall photos — we decided to pick a random date in December when Kyle would be more mobile and prayed that we’d have snow on the ground so the “brown” stages of winter would be gone. The day before their engagement session, Wisconsin blessed us with 8 inches of fresh & powdery snow and it was truly magical.

I’m so surprised (& sad!) our paths haven’t crossed sooner – Ashley & Kyle are practically neighbors as we both live in Sun Prairie and these two are beyond fun to be around! These two knew each other long before they started dating but the timing was never quite right. Kyle had his eyes on Ashley from the very start but Ashley wasn’t so sure about it. After a random run in with each other, Kyle decided he needed to do something about it so he turned to Ashley and said, “I wish you realized how good we could be together.” It didn’t take long for Ashley to realize that Kyle was right and they’ve been together ever since.

As we spent time together, it became abundantly clear that Ashely & Kyle make the best out of every situation. As I explained above, Ashley had her heart set on a fall engagement session but when plans changed, she embraced the winter wonderland with every ounce of her being. Not only did Ashley embrace the snow but so did Kyle, who had to hike through 8 inches of fresh snow ON CRUTCHES. There was no shortage of conversation, laughter, and joy on this engagement shoot & it makes me SO excited for their wedding day.

Kyle & Ashley, I’m thrilled our paths have finally crossed and Kyle, you definitely had it right — your two are SO good together. xo

Ashley, you are STUNNING!!!
