Rachel and Phil met in a very modern day way via Match.com. And let me just say that they’re living proof that dating websites do work. I’m not sure why Match hasn’t hired them for a commercial yet! They officially met and shared their first date at 404 Wine Bar in Chicago, so this was absolutely the most fitting place to start off their engagement session. 

When they originally met there, it was raining outside which (luckily) forced them to stay and chat longer than they had anticipated. Ironically, when we met for their originally scheduled engagement session, it also rained! And I mean DOWNPOURED when I say rain. We decided to reschedule for a later date, and the sun shined beautifully for us the second time around. Here’s to hoping it also shines for the two of you on your upcoming wedding day in California! I can’t wait to see you again for your reception in just a couple of months!
