River North Engagment Session: Eman + Vincent

Eman & Vincent met through mutual friends while on their way to Statesville Haunted House several years ago. While hanging out together, Vincent thought she was already taken, while Eman was secretly plotting on how she could see him again. Luckily, as fate would have it, Eman was "single & ready to mingle" ;-) They have been laughing, loving and growing together ever since.

I am so honored to have been asked to document their journey to the altar and I cannot wait for their fall wedding at the Bolingbrook Golf Club in Bolingbrook, IL.

Vincent never gave me mediocrity. His efforts and priorities were always clear. I guess that goes to his ability to communicate. He improved me greatly in that way. There is no guessing or trying to navigate his feelings/intentions. ~Eman

I can be myself at all times with Eman without feeling judged or weird. No matter how off the wall I get or ridiculous my thoughts and opinions can be at times, I never hesitate to share them with her because she is my retreat, my safe place... ~Vincent

Vincent is my best friend, my teammate. He reminds me that I am worthy of love every single day. Most importantly, he loves me the way I am while helping me to be the best version of myself. ~Eman

The anniversary of my father’s death is unfortunately the day before Vincent’s birthday. The first year we dated, I expressed going to the cemetery and Vincent told me he wanted to go with me. In the moment it felt weird, but when I later asked why he wanted to go, he expressed that what is important to me, is important to him. ~Eman

I always get in her face when she’s doing the simplest of tasks. It could be brushing her hair or washing dishes; tasks that are not at all sexy. I just appreciate her beauty in the simplest of ways. She doesn’t have to get dressed up or do something out of this world to get my attention.  I get the hots for her when she probably feels the least attractive. It’s those times when she isn’t trying to be beautiful or impressive that I think she’s most stunning. Naturally beautiful.  ~Vincent

His smile. It brightens his entire face and my mood. I love to see him smile. Literally. ~Eman

With Eman, there are no surprises— I know what I’m getting with her. Everyday she does something that reminds me why I love her. It’s like magic because even when she pisses me off I still want to be with and around her. It’s weird. ~Vincent
