STARVED ROCK/ ENGAGEMENT: STEPHANIE & DAN

Two rock climbers who love God with all their hearts, and will tackle just about anything that is made up of igneous, sediment, or some form of hardened minerals and dirt.  Now Dan and I go way back almost 9 years-ish from coaching gymnastics together.  God has blessed me with a brother who is so sold out for God and have been through a lot, I remember Dan and I talking about "Why is it that the nice guys always finish last?" said two juniors in high school, (I know,  right?) as we stood around the foam pits, and still rings in the gym.  

It was not until a number of years later when Dan introduced me to Steph.  Now according to her, she doesn't remember me because she said she was having a bad day that day... but I knew right after I met her that Dan had fallen for this one.  I can honestly say that I am so happy for these two and God has truly blessed my boy Dan with his absolute perfect match!  I've also been blessed to call myself their wedding photographer, coming in November, but for now we did a little trip back to go old Starved Rock in Oglesby, IL to shoot their eSession!  What a wonderful time we had and for me it was really close to my heart to be able to capture the love between two amazing friends!  "It's not that nice guys finish last Dan... they just finish with the best!"  Love you guys.  I hope you all enjoy their engagement session as much as I enjoyed capturing it!
