Spending an evening with Carmen and Shannon downtown Springfield was so much fun! These two are so down to Earth and I loved capturing their adorable love. 

Downtown Springfield is special to Carmen and Shannon as it was where they met and where they spend a lot of time together. We started their session exploring some fun spots around town and ended back down at the new Bicentennial Plaza, one of their favorite spots! In between they took a bottle of wine and opened it while watching a beautiful Illinois sunset. Visiting wineries is something Carmen and Shannon enjoy doing a lot together, so it was so special to include this into their session.

We had some absolutely beautiful light for Carmen and Shannon’s engagement session. They did not stop laughing and enjoying each other company all night. I cannot wait to be apart of their special day next year!
