Grings Mill Engagement Session | Tori & Fred

Just short of a year ago, Fred asked Tori to be his forever. Within a couple weeks they were wrapped in a whirlwind of wedding planning, finding the most beautiful place to celebrate their first day married.

When shown different location ideas for their engagement session, Tori didn’t hesitate to respond, “Wherever that is, I think that’s the winner!”

Most guys aren’t in love with the idea of setting aside a day to be in front of the camera. Much to Tori’s surprise, Fred mentioned to her that he was looking forward to it! Once I learned of Fred’s optimism, I knew I had to floor him with a totally relaxed and awkward-free experience.

After a few minutes of nothing-in-particular conversation, the laughs began, and it wasn’t long before these two seemingly forgot that a camera was even around.

We had spent the entire day obsessively checking the forecast and watching the rain fall, wondering whether or not we should move forward or reschedule. Every time we decided on a time to make a decision, we changed our minds to “let’s hold out a little longer”. The rain finally fizzled out at the very last minute. So glad we weren’t forced to reschedule because we would have missed out on these incredible skies!

Tori and Fred are planning their awesome summer wedding on a breathtaking 300+ acre research farm, filled with orchards, gardens, and lakes!
