NOTE —

If your blog post's featured images are fairly low resolution, you may want to delete the top image canvas. Your blog will still look gorgeous, but the top banner section looks best when you upload an image that's 2500px on the long side. You can also use our fave TinyJpeg to make them small so your blog posts still load quickly!

Oak Brook Portrait Photographers | Mayslake Preserve Engagement

April 27, 2021

A bit of an unconventional proposal/engagement session, Limy and Javier have actually been married for 10 years but he never actually officially “proposed” to her! Since it was their 10 year anniversary, Javier and his sister in law Elba wanted to surprise Limy with a belated, but “official” proposal and I was there to capture it! We had a beautiful September evening for this shoot at the Mayslake Forest Preserve at the Peabody Estate, in Oak Brook, IL and here are some of my faves!
