Y’all, I am so excited for you to meet this sweet couple. Gabby and Ben are one of my incredible HN Bride and Grooms of 2019, and I can’t wait for their wedding day. My husband, Hayden and Gabby were good friends when they attended high school at Christ Our Rock in Centralia. Hayden introduced me to Gabby not too long after we started dating, and I could tell that she was such a sweet and fun person. Fast forward to this past January, when Gabby and Ben reached out for me to photograph their big day in June 2019. I was so excited. I LOVE June weddings {hello, fellow June bride here!}, and I knew that Gabby and Ben were so sweet.

Fall is Ben’s busy season working at the Grain Elevator in Irvington, IL, but we were able to squeeze in their engagement session on one of the prettiest and most colorful weekends this fall. Gabby asked for this weekend back in February, and I’m very impressed with her ability to pick a weekend with such great weather. I asked why they wanted their engagement session in November {because they had mentioned how busy it was for Ben}, and Gabby shared that it was “their month.” They started dating in November and were engaged last year on November 11. Isn’t that just the sweetest!! Gosh, I love it when couples add sentimental or extra meaning into their photos. These are the photos they will look at the rest of their lives, and it’s fun to add something extra special into them.

I am so excited to celebrate with the two of them this coming June, and I have no doubt that it’s going to be a party. Gabby told me that Ben will definitely be one to watch on the dance floor! Haha – I love it! Go ahead and take a look at how stinking adorable these two are!

xoxo,
