Carli & Anthony - An Aquaviva Winery & Vineyard Summer Engagement Session

September 16, 2020

Jeez Louise. I love a vineyard.

Cross that with a sweet, loved-up couple and a jaw dropping sunset and I’m in heaven.

I met this lovely pair on a perfect July evening at the fabulous Aquaviva Winery in Maple Park, IL to commemorate this exciting stage in their lives via an engagement session. MAN am I grateful these guys turned me onto this place!

Like most people, the word “vineyard” is not exactly what comes to mind when I think of Illinois or anywhere else in the Midwest for that matter. But vineyard it is! From the stunning wine cellar to the rows upon rows of lush grapevines basking in the summer heat, it was such a joy exploring this place with these lovebirds.

Scroll on down to check out some personal faves from the shoot! Congrats, Carli and Anthony. Thanks for running around a giant field full of grapes with me! <3
