Acting as the backdrop for this love story between a country boy and girl, this picturesque, quaint equestrian center strikes a great southern cord with the couple. Danielle Aquiline Photography and the happy, engaged couple headed to the fields of Illinois to meet up with their beloved horse and dog at the Frankfort Equestrian Center, a place that Dana called her “second home.” Through the outdoor engagement shoot, the couple got a unique chance to celebrate their communal interest in the country and farm life. Eric grew up in Northwest Indiana in an old farm house, while Dana was involved in equestrian competitions her whole life, so it was a perfect way to express how they were (and still are) a country boy and girl at heart.




A couple of extra details helped to complete the southern ranch feel of this engagement shoot, such as Dana’s cowboy boots, the beer the couple shared, the rusty tractor, and more. But the best detail in the photo shoot has to be the bright, engagement ring on Dana’s left hand!






Thanks to Danielle Aquiline Photography for showing us a way to celebrate an engaged couple’s shared love of the rustic outdoors and their animal companions, complete with a certain southern flair.
