Jake + Cheyanne | Sun-kissed North Dakota Engagement

June 2, 2016

Jake + Cheyanne

Jake was a regular at the gym and Cheyanne was the super cute girl at the front desk he couldn’t wait to see when he walked in. When they first met at Boom Fitness in Stanley they were both seeing other people, so they kept their distance. It wasn’t until Cheyanne ran into Jake again almost a year later (and newly single) that she realized they shared a special connection.

They were spending Independence Day at the lake when Cheyanne told him he had a nice butt. After that, they became inseparable and were each other’s gym dates every night. It was no surprise when Cheyanne said yes! to Jake’s proposal when he flew her out to spend the holidays with his family in Nebraska, and proposed under the twinkling Christmas lights at the park.

Jake says his favorite physical attribute of Cheyanne’s is her beautiful blue eyes, but his favorite thing about her – more important than her stunning looks – is how supportive she is of him. She’s always there when he needs to talk and gives him advice when he is struggling with something. He knows he will be able to count on her forever.

Cheyanne says Jake is the most unexpected blessing from God as she had just come out of an abusive and toxic relationship when they met again at the lake. She had no intention of even dating for a long time, but Jake swept in and she fell for him hard. Now she knows what genuine love is like and can’t wait to spend the rest of her life with him.

Jake and Cheyanne are getting married in October in Pacific City, Oregon and I cannot wait to see all of the beautiful photos of their wedding day, captured by the bride’s older brother and uber famous photographer: Dylan Howell. For their engagement session, they returned to the place where their attraction turned to romance: White Earth, North Dakota. We spent the evening enjoying the beautiful summer weather while they snuggled under the prettiest North Dakota golden light.
