CHICAGO ENGAGEMENT : GRAUE MILL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS // bianca + joe

Their high school lockers were practically next one another throughout high school. Bianca knew of Joe, and Joe knew of Bianca, but it was limited to the cliques of high school. They didn’t really know each other.

It wasn’t until Bianca saw Joe’s name pop up on Facebook, years later, that the two started to get to know each other. After Joe accepted her friend request, Bianca sent him a message seeing how he was doing. Small talk ensured, but not long after, the two went out for an official date. The conversation flowed and there was an instant connection. They knew they had found someone special.

I spent a perfect fall afternoon with Joe and Bianca, and it was such a joy to have these two in front of my camera. Joe and I are practically family as our parents have been friends since before either of us were born, so it was extremely special to photograph him and Bianca at Graue Mill for their engagement photos.
