Ethan and Nicole met through friends at college. She liked him, he liked her but it took the better part of a year for them to get together. He bought a ring, she said yes, he gave it to her, and she lost it. In the snow while building a snowman. Fast forward a few months when the snow finally melts and a neighbor finds the ring in the street. Fun stories to share with friends and, as time allows, children and grandchildren.

Here are some photographs from Ethan and Nicole’s engagement session in Lincoln, IL. We made some photographs at the studio and, since it’s finally starting to warm up, made it outside as well. Look for their wedding images later this year…
