When I received their inquiry several months ago, I remember smiling as I read that, although from an outsider’s perspective these two seem like opposites, as they discovered their friendship and gave it the chance to blossom into what is now their love story, they often times couldn’t believe just how similar they really were. I love stories like this.

From the very first conversation we shared, I could tell that Joe and Tori were a couple full of life and fully in love. Their love for nature and genuine openness to each other and new experiences is not only sweet and infectious, it’s something I know will carry them through the inevitable ups and downs of marriage.

That first conversation also had me completely excited to finally meet them in person and see their love in action. From the moment we began and these two started interacting I could tell the whole night was going to be magic - and it was.

Mother Nature gifted them with the most beautiful soon-to-be-Fall golden light as they danced in a field, and also a stunning moon right as we were getting back to the car. Obviously we embraced the simple grainy moments of their last embrace in a cornfield.

More to come in 2020 when these two get MARRIED.
