I'm thrilled to introduce my newest wedding couple, Maureen and Nolan! Their love story is truly special, and I'm so excited to share it with you.


Maureen and Nolan first crossed paths as the maid of honor and best man at their best friends' wedding. At that time, Maureen had just come out of a relationship, and Nolan was married. Fast forward a couple of years, they were both single and decided to give dating a try. Although it didn’t work out initially, they felt a special connection and remained friends. During the Covid pandemic, they started talking more and eventually began dating. The rest, as they say, is history.


Nolan proposed to Maureen on December 8th, 2023, in the most heartwarming way. They were celebrating their son's first birthday that weekend and decided to have a family dinner beforehand. After dinner, they went to look at Christmas lights, a tradition they both love. Nolan asked Maureen to take a photo together, and then he got down on one knee! Maureen was completely surprised and it was the perfect moment.


We had so much fun during their engagement session at Cantigny Park! Maureen and Nolan are such a sweet couple, and it was a joy to capture their love and happiness. Here are some of the beautiful moments we captured.


Maureen and Nolan, thank you so much for having me as your engagement and wedding photographer! I had such a great time getting to know you two and can't wait to celebrate with you both this September. Now get cozy and cuddle up—your sneak peek is live!
