So in case you weren't aware, my baby brother is getting married. Around this time last year, Jordan was showing me the ring he bought for Kat and asking if I would help capture the moment he proposed. Check out their sweet proposal video below, in case you missed it. This past summer, we took a quick little amazing engagement session on our family trip to Cookeville, TN. I've been waiting for this post to share my favorites from that day.... And now we got to have a full on engagement session. I spent the day with these kiddos. We had a blast. I can't wait to stand beside them as they join before God. Time is flying by. I'll have another sis before I know it! Enjoy!

Yep, just an hour and a half east of Nashville (and approximately 50 minutes past that awesome outlet in Lebanon, TN) lies the little 20 square mile town of Cookeville, TN. Every year, in June... whoever can come will travel from near and far to do what we do best... eat, laugh, and catch up.
It's a time to gather. A time to love. A time to remember those who left a legacy.

I'm not sure I could find this waterfall again if I tried. It took us over an hour and a half of hiking to actually find the location. As I lay in bed today icing my neck because I apparently am incapable of safely crossing knee deep rapids while juggling thousands of dollars of equipment, I still can't believe my baby brother is getting engaged. This image is a story of growth for 3 city kids that came face-to-face with every fear they have ever had... Breaking bones, climbing mountains, clinging to rocks for dear life, encountering poisonous creatures (ok maybe I'm being dramatic)... only to find a perfect rainbow waiting on them at the end of their journey.
