Ory and Brooke…what a great couple!  I can tell they love each other and would do just about anything for the other, because they braved a super, windy and chilly evening together to take their engagement portraits! 🙂 Seriously, though, just by watching Ory and Brooke look into each other’s eyes you can see they love and respect each other.

The location of choice for their shoot was their homes which are just a few miles apart…a beautiful wooded area at her home and an open pasture at his.  They chose to use these spots because they are unique and special to them, and within this simplicity they wanted their portraits to focus on them and their love!

Ory and Brooke grew up in the same town, started dating in high school, and then headed off to college together.  They enjoy quiet nights in, watching movies, relaxing, and playing games.

When I asked Ory what he loves about Brooke he said, “Everything!”  He went on to explain that he loves her smile, laugh and personality.

Brooke shared that Ory makes her laugh and that he’s kind, compassionate, honest, and a tad bit nerdy. 🙂  She said, “He has the ability to ground me.  I love the feeling of comfort and safety I have with him.”

Ory and Brooke, thanks for letting me spend the evening with you…I’m looking forward to your wedding!  I know it will be beautiful!

One of my favorites. I love the kiss of the sun!
