Sunrise sessions have a different feeling than sunset. We love when we get the opportunity to wake up with a coffee and take pictures of our amazing couples. Courtney & Timothy met us at one of our tried and true spots–France Park, for some amazing sunrise engagement pictures. The fog on the water, the brisk air, and having the park all to ourselves just made the whole morning perfect!!

High School Sweethearts lead to surprise proposal!

Courtney & Timothy got together April of 2014 which was their end of Junior year in High School. They had met through friends and became pretty good friends themselves. Apparently, Timothy always had a thing for Courtney, and she told us that she friend-zoned him forever. According to Courtney, this is something that Timothy likes to joke about this all the time! However, eventually something just clicked between the two of them, and they started dating. Courtney told us, “We have been together ever since. Some say we are inseparable!”

After years of dating, Timothy proposed to Courtney in Chicago sometime within December of 2018. They were on a business getaway trip for Timothy’s mother’s consignment shop, Black Cat Clothing Co. He proposed right in front of a huge lit up Christmas tree outside of the Cheesecake Factory. Due to amazing planning, Courtney had absolutely no idea and thought they were just taking a cute picture… little did she know he was about to get down on one knee and ask her to be with him forever.

Stay tuned for Courtney & Timothy’s September 2021 Wedding!!
