So I was all prepared to let her know that I wouldn’t be able to do her engagement portraits since I wasn’t scheduled to come back to Savannah any time soon. Anne and Will needed a quick session soon to get some images for their Save the Date cards.

Then I looked closer and saw they were from the Chicago area.
Small world huh?

Lucky for me I was able to get this session in, because these two couldn’t have been cuter. They met in college when Anne was a cheerleader and Will was a football player for the U of I Fighting Illini. I was worried when I told them we are Badger fans in the Anderson household, but luckily, we could put our Big Ten rivalry behind us.

Without further ado, here are a few peeks from our session at Grant Woods in Lake Villa.

In fact, Tybee is where Justin proposed to Emily. Since they couldn’t decide between a Savannah session and a Tybee session, they thought, why not both?

These two couldn’t be more adorable together. They have done plenty of the long distance thing, and now they are ready to do the til death do us part thing.

Congrats Justin and Emily!

Tim contacted me months ago to tell me had this grand plan to propose to his girlfriend while they were visiting Savannah in May. He had everything planned, down to the carriage ride, the square he would be proposing in, everything.

I don’t know how he was able to wait all this time to finally pop the question, my own husband had the ring in his pocket a mere minutes before proposing to me while I was cleaning! But his patience paid off, because he couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to ask Cresent to marry him.

On the big day, I got a text from Tim, letting me know he was on his way in the carriage with Cresent. I had brought my husband and daughter along as decoys. While I was being snap happy with them, Tim and Cresent pulled up and walked to the gazebo in Whitefield Square.

Little did Cresent know that as soon as they entered the gazebo, my camera turned to them and I caught the proposal, bent knee and everything! To say she was surprised would have been an understatement.

It was great to be a part of this magical day, and I wish you both ALL the happiness in the world!

When we met up in May, it was of course HOT. Is it ever not hot in Savannah?

I saw these two all snazzy, looking great. Their first word to me was hello, and the next words were

“Well, we just got married!”

That is right, they decided to just go for it and get married in our beautiful, picturesque Savannah. So now I wasn’t doing engagement portraits for them anymore, I was suddenly doing wedding portraits!

No pressure.

Congratulations Dunne’ and Chris. It was so wonderful meeting you, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!
