When I first met with Brooke to talk about her Chicago wedding, she mentioned that she wanted to schedule their engagement photos at her horse barn so that she could get photos with her two favorite men — Kevin and Denver. I happily (and-oh-so excitedly) agreed that their Chicago engagement session must be at the horse barn. Last fall, I met Brooke and Kevin in Manteo, Illinois to photograph their love and hang out with Denver. After photographing tons of furbabies, I thought I had it all figured out with including pets in engagement sessions, but I will admit that wrangling a beautiful horse like Denver is a tad bit tricker than a 25-pound goldendoodle. :) We had a blast hanging out on the country roads with some of the dreamest golden hour light.
