We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to sneak in Kaley and Adam’s engagement session with the threat of rain coming in. We surely did and had fun doing so. As we left the beautiful grounds of Gabis Arboretum, the rain came trickling down.
Gabis Arboretum always has some fantastic and unique flowers growing as well wooded nature paths that I could have these two take a simple stroll and just be themselves.

A young couple enjoys wine during their picnic at Coffee Creek Park.
Tessa and Luis brought the blanket, they brought the grapes and the breadsticks. Most importantly, they brought the wine!! The photographer did not participate in any wine tasting, but I certainly enjoyed my time capturing their engagement session at Coffee Creek Nature Preserve in Chesterton, Indiana.

One of the more iconic backdrops of Coffee Creek Nature Preserve is the fountain. Tessa mentioned Luis picking her up, but I suggested this NOT be the location for that photo as they climbed upon the rocks overlooking the water.

I hope Tessa and Luis finished off that wine for dinner after our engagement session at Coffee Creek Nature Preserve in Chesterton, Indiana. They certainly were all smiles during the session and I look forward to their wedding next May. To inquire about wedding or engagement photography, be sure to fill out the Contact Form here.
