Brian and Kelsey | Cozy Winter Engagement in Chicago

Happy Thursday!! Is it spring yet? I am so ready for this chill in the air to go away and for warmer weather! But to make this cold day a little better I have something very special for you! Grab your favorite blanket and a cup of hot cocoa and curl up for this adorable engagement session.

Last Thanksgiving we received great news that my brother-in-law was engaged to his new fiancé Kelsey! When Matt and I drove home for Christmas we stopped in Chicago to stay with them and her family. Brian asked if I would photograph some engagement pictures for them since it was probably one of the only opportunities they would have before their wedding.

Brian is in the army and recently moved to Louisiana. His upcoming schedule is unknown, but with the high possibility of a deployment in the near feature their time together is precious. Of course I wanted to make sure they had some beautiful photos to enjoy of each other while they are apart. I am so proud of Brian and all that he has accomplished, as well as his drive and ambition. My heart goes out to Kelsey as she is learning what it is like to sacrifice time and how to love and support someone who is gone a lot.

There isn’t an exact date set yet for the wedding since Brian will most likely be leaving something this year for an unknown amount of time, but I am looking forward to a wedding that is sure to be so beautiful.
