Happy Camper Engagement Session, Stephen & Tori, Chicago IL

I knew I would love working with Tori and Stephen as soon as I read this line about how they met… “we bonded over our love for late night tacos”. As many of you readers know, Mexican food is the way to my heart. To be transparent, especially late night after a night out with friends!

But enough about me.. back to these two cuties.

Along with their shared love of tacos, Tori and Stephen connected in a lot of other ways as well. So much so that they continued talking after that initial meeting at a party at the University of Illinois. They began dating in May right as Stephen was graduating but since then have grown closer through long distance, new jobs, moves and then ultimately starting their lives together in Chicago.

For their engagement session, Stephen and Tori knew they wanted to incorporate one of Tori’s favorites: Tequila. After capturing Chicago in the fall, we headed to Happy Camper to finish up. Stephen and Tori were the highlight of the place, receiving a few ‘gifts’ (aka more tequila!) from other tables to congratulate them.

Stephen and Tori, thank you for including me in your engagement and wedding. I cannot wait to celebrate your love again at your wedding in May!
