What an incredible couple! We took on a beautiful farm setting for their engagement portraits…on one of the record hottest days of the year! They didn’t even blink twice as they took this on. They were stunning champions through and through! What made it even more special and fun was our special guest star! Their amazing golden retriever Diego got to join us for part of their session. What an incredible blast we had!

I love their story. Taylor and Jacob talked for a month virtually before they actually met each other. After meeting for the first time, this wonderful couple started hanging out all the time. Their love quickly blossomed. They found that they were so compatible it was literally like they were custom-made for each other. It was cool even in a recent premarital session, they were realizing just perfectly they complement each other in just about every way.

You know their fearless canine, Diego, is central to their relationship when his paw is seen with Taylor and Jacob’s hands in the proposal picture from the night Jacob and Taylor become engaged! Jacob’s twin sister Jamie (who is an amazing and fabulous Moments Bride!!) helped him decorate Taylor’s apartment one day while Taylor was away at work. Jacob went all out; he outlined a path with roses and candles to the exact spot where he would be standing. Jamie hid the dog away. (Diego’s collar had a very special ring on it!) Jacob picked up Taylor from work and surprised her at the apartment with his roses and candles. And of course the whole thing just got even sweeter when their beloved four-legged friend burst through the door at just the right time with the ring. What a special day that was!

Taylor and Jacob, I can’t wait for your next special day!! Your WEDDING DAY!!! It will be such a joyful event! You are a beautiful couple and I cannot wait to capture all those precious memories! I loved this special portrait session and can’t wait for your big day! Lots of love and excitement to you both!
