I am thrilled to finally be able to share this couple’s engagement session. I have had the privilege of getting to know Nick and Taylor over the past couple of years at Oregon State through Young Life. They are two of my favorite people to be around mostly because of the joy and laughter that they bring. They are incredible together, and their love for one another is so evident in how they live their lives and interact. Nick, oh so kindly, wrote a paragraph for me with a few things about him and Taylor and their story:

Love. The one thing in this world that is more precious than gold, or an all you can eat buffet. Nick and Taylor are the primetime example of love. Knowing one another since the 8th grade, they are completely aware and sensitive to everything about one another. For example, Nick knows that Taylor can’t go one day without brushing her teeth, and Taylor knows that Nick has a serious issue with the number of meals he eats in any given day. That is neither here nor there. After dating in high school for two years, breaking up for three, and then resurfacing their love for one another once in college, it is evident to the world that Nick and Taylor truly are the epitome of love. Having said that, Nick knew what needed to be done. Nick and Taylor woke up at the crack of Lucifer and drove to the Willamette waterfront to watch the sunrise. Once there, Nick asked the big question. Ever since then, they have embarked on a wedding planning frenzy of magnitude that only Poseidon himself would dream of. Awaiting the big day, Nick and Taylor are happier than ever, and ready to experience what God has in store for them, leaning on one another every step of the way.

Nick, Taylor and I were blessed with beautiful weather as we adventured around Peavy Arboretum in Corvallis for their engagement session. Sure was a fun time with them. Congrats Nick & Tay, love you guys!
