A hot couples boudoir session!! Wow, Tess and John did amazing at their session. Excited is an understatement when they decided to let me photograph them for their couples boudoir session. They were amazing at taking direction but more importantly you could see how connected and comfortable they are with each other. I absolutely loved it and hope to get some more on the books soon.
Here’s a little more about the couple from their wedding website:
The Spark. The Test. The Journey. (this is our story from our wedding website)
THE SPARK
They met in 2010 on a late summer night in Macomb, IL while attending college at Western Illinois University. They were introduced through their good friend, and now best man, Mike. It is said that sparks flew as their eyes met, which lit the fire of love under their feet, that are now planned to walk down the aisle in September. They spent the next 3 1/2 years at school together, where they went to class, learned about themselves and each other, started dating, and fell in love. In 2014, Tess and John graduated together. As a new path emerged, the next couple of years would become a test of how true their love is.
THE TEST
For almost 3 years, their love continued on a long distance journey. John went back to school to get his graduate degree, while Tess continued working for FitzMC (as a graphic designer). During this time, they worked through the distance and Tess traveled back and forth via Amtrak, four hours each way, to visit John. She tried to visit for at least one weekend each month! In 2016, their love prevailed with flying colors. During this year, FitzMC moved from Chicago to Burr Ridge, John finished school and took a job with DuPage County (engineering technician), and they began to look for homes in the area. In October, they purchased their first home and moved into the perfect place in Downers Grove. There’s not a day that goes by where they don’t cherish every moment they have which each other.
THE JOURNEY
In a world of nearly 8 billion living people, two of them followed a path that led to one another. They laughed, partied, cooked and loved, among many other things, together. The experiences they encountered along the way shaped their love to what it is now. They are grateful for those who have shared these experiences with them, and for those who will continue to. On September 16, 2018 Tess and John will bring two hearts together, and the next stretch of the journey begins. They look forward to continuing together on this journey called life, loving each other even more with each and every breath. When their beating hearts cease to drum, their rythym of love will continue on.
