Franklin Park Conservatory Engagement Session

Erica & Blake

In a matter of weeks I will be photographing Erica and Blake’s dreamy wedding and I thought the best way to celebrate was to showcase their beautiful engagement session at Franklin Park Conservatory.

Franklin Park Conservatory is truly one of my favorite places to photograph at. The blooming trees and vibrant floral landscape always provides the perfect backdrop. I got excited seeing Erica arrive in this ivory dress because it made her stand out even more against the lush scenery. As we walked around we laughed about how Blake and Erin went to middle school AND high school together and not once spoke a word to each other.

Erin continued by telling me that during her sophomore year of college, Blake messaged her on Tinder with a cheesy “you look familiar” pick up line, which clearly worked! After that, they planned their first date which involved a yoga class and dinner. Unbeknownst to Erin until after years of dating, Blake revealed that after their first date he had texted his mom that he was going to marry this girl. I pretty much melted when hearing that and got more excited for their wedding day.

I loved hearing their story and how after being in the same building for so many years, they finally connected after years apart.

Counting down the days till we reunite at Swan Lake Event Center for a beautiful day!
