SPRINGFIELD PARK AND URBAN FALL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY Laura+John | Promised

They met a long time ago, when she was just in high school.  Holding jobs at the same local store, she got to know him in a casual way.  He was creative, and funny, and he made her laugh.  She was still in high school and even though he had begun college, she knew that she wanted him to take her to her senior prom.  He was interested- but couldn’t go with her to due external circumstances, and they lost touch.  Years later, they ran into each other and it was like no time had passed.  John and Laura were finally together, and would never be apart again.  But what about that prom? In one of the sweetest proposal stories I have ever heard, John recreated the important parts of her senior prom, the one he never got to take her to, for her to ask her to be his best friend and wife for the rest of their lives.

These two are so sweet together.  Laura is beautiful and just exudes kindness and vibrancy. And the way John looks at her…he just cannot get enough of her. And I cannot get enough of that! 🙂  I am so excited to be sharing their engagement session today! We spend a beautiful evening together a couple weeks ago and I am just so excited for their winery wedding next year!! Meet Laura and John:

I'm Jill, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Chicago and Central Illinois, and available world wide! I'm also a photography educator, wife to my favorite person on the planet, mama to 3 amazing kids and an energetic Aussie, and obsessed with statement jewelry and all desserts (especially fruit pies!). 

As a past high school teacher, I have a major heart for education. After going full time in my business, I have built a business I love that gives me an almost 6 figure salary and allows me to be home part time with my kids.  I dream for you to run a business that enhances your life and lights you up, and I believe I can help you learn how to do it with a little hustle and a lot of heart!
