Okay, first things first… these two KILLED their outfits for their engagement photos! Holy smokes do they look amazing! Of course, the outfits only complement their adorable love for one another. Stir the two together and you get photos baked to yummy perfection. 😍

For Jessie and Seth’s engagement session, we did a little exploring at Luthy Botanical Garden and the Peoria Zoo. We had a blast walking around the zoo and learning fun animal facts from Seth’s insanely awesome knowledge of wildlife. And guess what?! These two adopted the takins at the zoo! So naturally, we had to take a few photos with these interesting creatures. (If you have no clue what a takin is–like us–just ask Seth! He’ll fill you in! 😊)

But let’s talk proposal because, holy cow, did Seth go all out. He proposed to Jessie in ARGENTINA!! But wait, it gets better… he popped the question in the most beautiful, memorable place… on a small island in the middle of the Japanese Gardens. Talk about romantic!

We are so excited to share these two with you all! They’re the sweetest couple around. Seth and Jessie, we are so beyond excited to be part of your big day! It’ll be here before you know it!
