Crystal Lake Winter Engagement

Engagement Photo Session in Crystal Lake: A Story of Love and Faith

Julia and Joseph’s love story is one for the books. It all started at the ISU Catholic Newman Center on a retreat where they met and became friends. Little did they know that their friendship would blossom into something beautiful, and soon they found themselves falling in love with each other. They both believed in having their relationship centered on God, which is why they decided to say their vows in the exact same spot where Joseph proposed, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

As they plan for their wedding, which will take place on the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7th, in Springfield, Joseph’s hometown, they wanted to capture some memories of their love story in Julia’s hometown, Crystal Lake. They both love adventure and the outdoors, and Veteran Acres seemed like the perfect spot for their engagement photo session, with a short stop in downtown Crystal Lake afterwards.





For Julia, her favorite part of the engagement photo session was dancing in the snow with her best friend. Joseph and Julia love to dance together, and it was such a gift to have beautiful snow for their engagement photos. They are going for a traditional, historic, and timeless look for their wedding, and blue will be the central color since it is the color of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.





Their love story is a testament to the power of faith and love, and they cannot wait to consecrate their marriage to the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are excited to start building their lives together and to kiss for the first time as husband and wife. Their journey has been filled with love, faith, and adventure, and they cannot wait to see what the future holds for them as they embark on this new chapter in their lives.





In conclusion, Joseph and Julia’s engagement photo session in Crystal Lake captured the essence of their love story. It showcased their love for adventure, the outdoors, and their faith.



Their wedding will be a beautiful celebration of their love, and we cannot wait to see the timeless and classic photos from their big day. We wish them all the best as they start their journey as husband and wife.
