Katie and Matt’s engagement session at Herrick Lake Forest Preserve was nothing short of magical. Nestled in Wheaton, Illinois, Herrick Lake provides the perfect blend of serene woodlands, open fields, and a scenic waterfront, making it an ideal location for capturing romantic moments.

The couple enjoyed a relaxed stroll through the golden fields, framed by the beauty of the natural surroundings. As the sun set, we took advantage of the soft, golden-hour lighting, which added warmth and depth to their portraits. The lake’s reflection and the towering trees provided a dreamy backdrop for intimate shots.

Katie and Matt’s love was evident in every frame, from candid laughter to quiet, affectionate moments. This engagement session truly highlighted the beauty of outdoor photography combined with the charm of a couple deeply in love. We can’t wait to capture their wedding day!
