Eleanor & Joe | Third Ward Engagement Engagement Photography

Eleanor & Joe live in Maine and are planning a winter wedding for 2020, two facts about them that make me think of snow and the need to wrap oneself in something warm (your best friend and fiance’s arms being the most recommended.) But their dispositions and sweet smiles bring sunshine and warmth to mind so I was thrilled we were able to plan a golden hour engagement session for them during their travels back to Milwaukee for wedding  festivities. So with the late summer sun warming our skin we wandered the city they used to call home. They shared little bits about their lives and histories that made me like them all the more – from Eleanor’s wish for a “wedding ring” made up of estate rings (they are gorgeous and stacked and she can’t wait to get the third one on her finger come the wedding day) to Joe’s dancing skills (his grandmother was a dancer and dance teacher.) They snuggled and danced and just let me see them be together and it felt like a gift. Happy engagement Eleanor & Joe; we can’t wait to be there for the big day when you (officially) become one another’s.
