A Summer Engagement at IMSA: Maribel & Neal

post filed in:

Engagement

 

I feel like this has been a theme of the past week or so, but I was SO NERVOUS about the weather!

Rain was in the forecast. It was technically drizzling with I left to meet up with Maribel & Neal. We had gotten special permission to be on the IMSA campus. We were locked in. And the weather… totally cooperated! 😀

Maribel & Neal met when they were just 15, away at school, learning at the Illinois Math & Science Academy.

As we walked the campus, they shared their first impressions of each other and we took photos in front of their old dorms. Then we headed up to the “forbidden hill” for a few shots and even grabbed a quick pic in front of the swing set where they first flirted! 😉

I don’t think I’ve done another engagement session like this one. Each location we went to held special memories for Maribel & Neal. I’m so grateful they shared how important this location was to them! We were able to get some really sweet shots. Shots I hope they will be able to cherish for decades to come. 🙂

Maribel & Neal THANK YOU so much for having me! Now grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!!!

 

The famous playground! And the perfect spot to end our session. 🙂

 

Maribel & Neal, thank you so much for sharing more of your story with me. 🙂 I had so much fun with y’all last week and I can’t wait to capture your wedding day!

 

Much Love Friend,
