Alec & Amanda: engagement || chicago il, engagement & wedding photographer


The beginning of a happily ever after. . . . .


A few months ago I shot this couple's engagement pictures. They are getting married tomorrow. :) 



They are charming and adorable. 





I'll share a little of their story.
<3



This lovely girl is Amanda. I have known her for around 5 years. I have been blessed by this friendship many many times! She is a smart, loving, kind, beautiful, compassionate, graceful, forgiving, and God fearing woman. Those are only a few of the things that make her a lovely person. 





About a year and a half ago she started dating this mysterious young man. He started visiting his uncles and aunts church, which happened to be the church that Amanda goes to. This young man, whose name is Alec, is the nephew of Amanda's dear friend. 




Skip forward a few months and Alec asks Amanda out. They get to know each other and end up falling in love. *sigh* I love love stories.




Now Amanda will be part of the family which she already loves and who are dear friends of hers. God brought them together in a beautiful way neither of them could have foreseen. 
Alec is a great guy. He loves Amanda so much! It was awesome getting to witness their beautiful love. Their story is truly God scripted.

















Their story has just begun. Tomorrow starts a whole new journey. 
I am honored and blessed to be apart of it.




God bless you, Amanda and Alec! God has many great plans for your future! <3
