Dan & Rachel's engagement session

Today was so amazingly beautiful, and I have to admit that I almost forgot that it was fall for the early part of the afternoon! I can't believe that it was 80 degrees today... crazy Chicago weather! At any rate, the climate was PERFECT for Dan and Rachel's engagement session, and we had a ton of fun. Well, Rachel and I did. I think Dan had SOME fun. haha. But then again, Dan is a guy so the whole model-for-a-day thing doesn't hold quite the same amount of appeal as it would for most girls. He was a great sport though... which is sweet because it always says a lot about a man's love for his bride when he will endure an hour of something he wouldn't otherwise do without her... =)

At any rate, they are so cute together and I love them a ton. Dan proposed to Rachel over a period of three days. Every day he took her somewhere different, and gave her something sweet and meaningful. Then on the third day he took her to watch the sunrise, and gave her the ring. Which is gorgeous. Like Rachel! I can't wait to photograph their wedding in April... it is going to be amazing.
