Jess and Joe have known each other since gradeschool. They were always friends, and Joe may or may not have been secretly in love with Jess the whole time… but it wasn’t until the end of college where Jess realized that Joe could be the love of her life. Maybe it was the random “I love you” texts messages from Joe that finally got her, but now they’re planning their lives together.

I spent the early evening with Jess + Joe along the Naperville Riverwalk… getting to know each other a little more – talking about life, witnessing Jess’s robot arm, and learning about Joe’s secret video game life that he could only hide from Jessica until they moved in together. I had so much fun getting to know them both (I had only met Jess during the consult, and had never met Joe until the session), and know we’re going to have a blast on the wedding day come October. Aside from the fact that it felt like we were old friends, Jess + Joe are gorgeous and made my job super easy. I can’t wait to work with you guys again next fall!
