Fullersburg Forest Preserve, Oak Brook // Jocelyn + Kody Engagement Session
Summer just was not ready to quit! What we thought was going to be a nice fall evening turned into a hot summer night with insane humidity. No matter...

Jocelyn brought a cute chalkboard frame with their date to use for their Save the Date image, so we shot a few with that and started to wander the forest preserve.
