Engagement Photos: Country Lovin'

Two lovers and one country road. Simple, yet perfect recipe for romantic outdoor engagement photos.

I love the SD city life, but I’ll admit, I’m a country girl at heart having been raised in the Central Valley. Michaela and Cody’s engagement photo session by Jessica Van Photography totally reminds me of home, and to me, there’s something so romantic about cowboy hats, dusty boots, empty fields, and long dirt roads.

Naturally, this country-lovin’ couple met at Country Fest a few years ago, and just a few months later, Cody dropped the L-bomb on Valentine’s Day after a sushi dinner and moonlit beach walk in La Jolla. In remembering how special that night was with Michaela, Cody actually planned the proposal in a very similar way. They went to that same sushi restaurant, and retraced their steps on that starry night-time beach walk. Only this time around, in addition to expressing his love for her, Cody also asked Michaela to marry him!
