And just like that, our 2018 Caitlin & Luke Bride (and groom! 😉 ) engagement session season is upon us!! We can hardly believe it’s here already, guys! We’ve been having some wonderful, spring-like weather here in Central Illinois lately, but of course, when the day for Ashley and Dan’s engagement session rolled around, the weather did NOT cooperate! We bet you can’t even tell, but it was absolutely pouring for the vast majority of this session! Have you EVER seen another couple look so amazing during a rainy engagement session?! My goodness! These two were total troopers and didn’t seem to mind cuddling in the rain one bit!! 😉 These guys are tying the knot in April at our first wedding of 2018, and we are literally counting down the days! As I type this, I believe we are only 43 days away, and I can’t even believe that! It will truly be here in the blink of an eye… my goodness!

Ashley went to college at Illinois State University here in Normal, so it only made sense that we’d met up on the quad right on campus for their session! We LOVE when our couples incorporate a location that is super meaningful into their engagement session… it’s just the greatest thing ever. On top of that, Ashley got to show Dan around Illinois State University while we were shooting, and it was so darn adorable to watch her point out buildings she had classes in while we were all trying to dodge the rain!! These two even had plans to hit up Ashley’s favorite coffee shop from college, Fusion Brew, before heading back home… I’m still a little jealous! Not going to lie. 😉

Ashley and Dan, we hope you guys adore this tiny sneak peek into your engagement session! Thank you SO much for being so sweet and wonderful and having a blast at your session, despite the rainy weather! 🙂 You guys are the best ever and we cannot WAIT to see y’all next month (ahh!!) for your wedding day! It is going to be one heck of an amazing time!

Xoxo!!
Caitlin & Luke
