Mads + Ryan // Bookish + Nature-Inspired Driftless Region Engagement Session

hey there!

Today, I’ve got a couple of sweeties to share with you! Ryan and Mads’ engagement session was the perfect blend of cozy + heartfelt, starting at the most picturesque, charming bookstore you’ve ever seen. Just filled to the brim with well-worn shelves and hidden nooks that reflected their shared love of stories (they’re avid DnD-ers). Afterwards, we took a stroll along a nearby nature trail, where Mads pointed out all the critters along the way. I love watching the two of them be so completely natural with each other; their gentle + familiar energy made me feel soooo warm.

When asked about when they knew they were in love, they shared, "I don't think there was a defining moment, we slipped into it - it was comfortable and easy to go from best friends to partners." Their session was a wonderful celebration of a love that’s simple, steady, and beautifully grounded, and I am just over the moon to continue that same celebration this fall at their wedding.
