Morton Arboretum Engagement Photos, Lisle Engagement Photographer / Alison + Rob

10/31/20

Alison and Rob are so perfectly matched!! These two love the outdoors and enjoy biking, hiking, running, and skiing :) The Morton Arboretum is one of their favorite places to be outdoors, and it was the perfect backdrop for their engagement session! Rob’s kids Ellie and Luke are such a big part of the wedding process, so they were the perfect addition to this session – they are the sweetest kids, and we had so much fun throwing leaves and running around being silly :) I cannot wait for their wedding next year!!

    I liked all the color pictures of Alison & Rob together with fallen leaves, colorful trees, & fall foliage. The picture with the 4 people standing at the entrance door to the arboretum is especially nice.

    If I had to select pictures for an album, I would have a hard time….there are so many good ones, both color & black & white.
