Rachel & Anthony’s Wisconsin engagement session on the Lake : Boats, cars, dogs, and pumpkin heads. Enough said. This gorgeous Fall afternoon up in Wisconsin was a literal dream. Rachel and Anthony had originally talked about the different locations back near Chicago they thought would work nicely for photos, but when they asked if I’d be willing to travel to a lake house and go out on a boat, I knew no other spot would compare.

After a couple hours of driving from Chicago to Elkhorn, and through some of the prettiest and most colorful areas, I made my way to their neighborhood where the gorgeous backyard view gave us the perfect lakeside backdrop for photos.

When I first arrived, my attention went directly to the bright red BMW in the driveway and some pumpkin heads (already carved) at the front step. I knew this photoshoot was going to be fun.

ENTER RUGER. <3

I always tell my couples that if your dog is part of the family, bring them for photos. You will never regret it! And Ruger for sure outshined us all…even on the boat! This session and these two were absolutely adorable and I’ll always remember this day with a big smile.

So excited for their October 2023 Wedding!

HUGS!
