Emily and Ryan!! These two cuties met AT a wedding in 2019, but their first real date was at one of Ryan’s favorite places in downtown St. Charles – The Beach Hut :)

He knew that any girl he was going to seriously date would also need to like this unique and FUN atmosphere, so he brought Emily in – and she fit in perfectly! It was only fitting that we start their engagement session at such a meaningful spot for them – they even had a dollar bill pinned to the wall from one of their dates many years ago! I had the BEST time exploring St. Charles with them (and battling the may-flies together haha!), I cannot WAIT for their wedding next Spring!!
