Abbey and Jake came to us as a referral from one of our sweet couples who are getting married this weekend. Although Abbey and Jake are planning a 2023 Michigan wedding, they wanted to showcase Chicago in their engagement photos, the city where they live, and where they met.
The story of how Abbey and Jake first met is a sweet one. These two first matched on the dating app, Hinge, and a short time later on the dating app, The League. Jake took this as a great opportunity to message Abbey and boldly ask, “How many apps have to match us before I can take you out on a date? ;)” – Jake’s charm must have worked as Abbey agreed to a first date.
Their first date was set, but due to an unfortunate allergic reaction that day – Abbey’s face and eyes began to swell enough to render her barely able to see. Although she hated to flake on Jake and also knowing it sounded like a lame excuse, Abbey chose to postpone – NOT wanting to have Jake’s first impression be of a swollen, red, and puffy-faced Abbey.
It didn’t take long before these two were rescheduled. Since Jake was new to Chicago – Abbey chose one of her favorite restaurant hangouts, Homeslice, located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. That was it – these two hit it off immediately. Fast-forward to their engagement session. The weather was perfect, and we were able to capture some photos at some of their favorite and memorable parts of the city including Lincoln Park, North Avenue beach, and of course a quick stop to the place it all began, Homeslice.
Congratulations Abbey and Jake – we wish you much happiness in your life and marriage that you deserve.
