I always tell my couples that their engagement session should be about them and what they like to do as a couple. It doesn’t have to be overly posed or you staying in a field of wildflowers if that’s never something you’d do.

So when they told me they love to work out together we hit the gym…. literally! I met them at their apartment to attempt some photos with their pets, Sam and Toews. Like most brothers and sisters they don’t always get along. And this day was no exception. They were not thrilled about taking photos together, but their interaction made it real!

Then we headed upstairs to the gym. You may notice their shirts are a shout out to their love of the show Friends. We did some curls, some push ups and then decided it was time to hit the riverwalk to end our day with some photos in the city. It was oddly cold for the middle of May. But we walked a bit stopping every 5 seconds when I’d go “Oh, what about this… ” until they were practically frozen and we called it day.

Stay tuned for their intimate wedding at Little Goat Diner!
