Lindsey+DJ: Engaged | Rochester, IL Engagement photography

Meet Lindsey and DJ.

Lindsey and DJ met doing summer theatre at the beautiful Springfield Muni, which happens to be the place I first met both of them as well, the summer they began dating. The same same summer my Michael and I began dating. I had my first experience with Muni that summer, being in a summer show and met Lindsey there through one of my beloved students who was also in the cast. I got to know Lindsey very well, and adored her. For a young high school student, she was very mature and talented, but she was also fun and full of life. I absolutely LOVE this getting to see high schoolers travel through various stages of their young adult lives. From high school sweethearts, to college together in the education program, and now teachers in the same district. Lindsey and DJ dated for a LONG time (in that same time span, because we were certainly not in high school anymore, Michael and I got engaged, married, moved, got a dog, had 2 kids, and moved again). That being said--they have prepared themselves for a long time to combine their lives, and I absolutely know they are going to have a SPECTACULAR marriage (and a beautiful wedding day!!)! They have bid their time, paid all their dues, and seem just effortless together. It is absolutely beautiful to be around- there is such an easy going, seasoned, comfort to them, and it makes me so happy, and so excited for them and their future. All that being said- I know their images will speak for themselves!! Leave them some love to come read if you adore them as much as I do! :)
We started at that very place they fell in love.



It was a PERFECT night with such beautiful light!

One of my favorites!


And another favorite!

LOVE this ring.



Lindsey...you are STUNNING and my camera loves you!!


We were losing light fast, but this next set totally warms my heart!




Congrats Lindsey and DJ, and I can't WAIT to photograph your wedding next summer!!! I am so glad you chose me to capture it all for you! Sending lots of love!
