Sleigh: Engagement Photography

December with DWD: Sleigh

Today, Chicagoland was hit with our first major snow, so what better day to post snow-filled photography!?

No matter what age you are, playing in the snow is still fun - I love to go sledding with my sister just like when we were younger!

Taking your engagement photos in the snow can be just as fun when sleds are added. Enjoy ten of my favorite engagement photos with sleighs below.
