This “puppy love” engagement session is the cutest thing! Kaleigh and Joe knew they’d have to include their dog (Tilly! We swoon!) in their photoshoot as a beloved part of the family. Selfishly, as a Chicago wedding photographer, I gotta say no matter how wonderful you are as a couple, I’ll like you twice as much if you bring a furry friend along to your shoot! 😉 (If you need more pup content, scroll here to find a good boy cameo!!)

But Tilly isn’t the only thing Kaleigh and Joe are crazy about — you can tell they’re pretty wild about each other, too! Kaleigh shared more of their story:

“Joey and I met on the Fourth of July through mutual friends! On the train ride to the get together, my best friend was explaining all the people that were going to be at the bar and said: “I think you’ll like Joey.” Well, turns out she was right! Although it took about 6 months of Joey’s persistence for me to start dating because I was too worried about law school to commit to anything. After that, I was hooked!!”

Who doesn’t love a holiday meet-cute?? It gives us all the warm and fuzzies! Moral of the story: don’t miss a moment from this lovely puppy love engagement session, and ALWAYS include your puppers in important occasion photos. You won’t regret it! 🙂
