Shelbie + Danny

Shelbie is a striking natural beauty who has a passion for fashion and makeup and it shows! This girl has some serious style! Danny is a laidback, charming chef (yeah, CHEF… how cool is that?!) who looks at Shelbie with so much love in his eyes… together these two are a perfect match. Shelbie + Danny met at a tattoo shop where Danny got his ink and Shelbie was the receptionist!! As we warmed up in the car between shoots with the heated seats on and the heat on FULL BLAST, they told me their charming love story which warmed my heart too. These two are foodies who love coffee, beer, and tacos so it was only natural that we cozied up at Rockford Roasting Co. for their engagement session.  Shelbie + Danny are tying the knot at one of my favorite venues in town, The Standard, and Shelbie has some big plans for their stunning wedding (ps, I’ve heard all about Danny’s suit and I can NOT wait for how dapper he is going to look!). Shelbie is such a sweetheart; she trusted every single photo idea that I had… even the one where I suspended her sparkling clean engagement ring over her delicious cappuccino. Now that’s trust!

If you love winter engagement session, coffee, and the most amazing leopard print skirt… keep scrolling!

Shelbie + Danny, I’m so excited for your engagement and I can’t wait to be there by your side on your wedding day!

Love, Sara
