Engagements

George and Jordan | Winter | Grand Ravines

The Grand Ravines of Allendale in the middle of winter. The beautiful wheat fields, and misty rain brought a dreamy vibe to George and Jordan’s session. You would have no idea that the snow was melting. You could just see the sweet romantic chemistry between the two and the horrible weather could not stop it.

George proposed to Jordan around Christmas in the middle of their living room. The best way to start the beginning of forever, together in their home. The moment I met these two I knew they were going to be the perfect KH couple. Jordan is the kind of girl that doesn’t mind getting her shoes dirty for a good portrait. I’d say that her sense of adventure sure paid off.

We are six short months away from their wedding and couldn’t wait to grab some portraits so I hope you stick around and take a peek.
