Instead of waiting until the wedding to do the usual wedding photoshoot, it has become popular to do an engagement photoshoot after becoming engaged. Brooke Lowry had long dreamed of having an engagement shoot at Disneyland, shot in a “vintage 1950s” style.
When that dream came into reality, one thing was missing- her fiance. They broke up before the shoot, but Brooke bravely decided to go on with the shoot without a prince. Asked why she decided to proceed with the photoshoot, she cited an admiration for, among other qualities, Disney princesses’ common trait of remaining positive in the midst of tragedy.
