Alternative Illinois Wedding Photographer – Engagement Session, Wilmington, Illinois

I love engagement photos. i hate that they are generally considered a photo session to use for wedding invites. That’s not why you take engagement photos. This alternative vinyl records engagement session hit the nail in the coffin.

Your engagement session is specifically used to document this season of your life—who you are as a couple—right now—authentically. In outfits you’d normally wear. Doing activities you’d normally do together. In a place you love. Because we’re documenting this season of your love story and your life together. So we can look back in 20 years and say, that was us—not a “version” of us we created for friends and family for our wedding invites.

I encourage you to dig deep through every part of this wedding planning process. Feel out what makes sense for you as a couple. Don’t do what’s expected of you just because it’s expected of you. It’s your love story—how it starts in this new season of life is up to you.

Monica & Brett have been together for 9 years, and decided to celebrate their engagement in a way that was true to them–vinyl records, pop punk jams, marijuana and a unity joint, in a park in small town, Illinois that was special to them.

If you’re looking for an experience that’s a little more pop punk and a little less pinterest, let’s fucking do this thing.
