When Dana and Stan met each other in their college biology class at the University of Missouri, they both knew it was only a matter of time before they would start dating :) Stan proposed in Park City, Utah at sunset with the beautiful mountains behind them and all of their family along to celebrate. They currently live in St. Louis, but knew they wanted an engagement session in their home state. They chose downtown Naperville and the sunlit Naperville Riverwalk as the perfect setting for the two of them. I am in love with their outfit choices (Dana’s black and white dress is adorable!!), but even more in love with the genuine smiles, love, and adoration these two share for each other. I can’t wait for their wedding next July at Abbey Farms! Enjoy the pics!
Absolutely beautiful photos!
