Central Illinois Engagement Photos | Taylor & Kody

Taylor and Kody’s engagement session couldn’t have been more perfect! We had the dreamiest October evening. I’m talking about warm air, golden light, and the prettiest sunset that glowed through every photo. It was the best night spent catching up with my sweet friend Taylor and meeting her fiancé, Kody!

Fun fact – I actually used to babysit Taylor and her brother Jacob when I was in high school! I still remember practicing my photography skills on them all those years ago. Looking back now, it’s such a full-circle moment to be photographing Taylor’s engagement session and soon, her wedding day. It truly means the world to me to be part of this season of her life!

Taylor and Kody’s love story began three years ago when they met online, and their connection has grown stronger ever since. This past June, Kody planned the sweetest proposal during a family vacation in New Buffalo, Michigan. Taylor thought they were taking Father’s Day photos on the beach, but it turned out to be the start of a whole new chapter! With her family in on the surprise and there to celebrate, Kody asked Taylor to marry him, and of course, she said yes!

I’m beyond excited to celebrate with Taylor and Kody next summer at Hudson Farm and capture every moment of their wedding day. If their engagement session shows what’s ahead, their wedding day will be filled with joy, laughter, and so much love!
