Not so Hidden Gem For Engagement Photos: Greenwood Furnace
Greenwood Furnace State Park is a staple for sessions in general but can be especially dreamy for an engagement session. With it's scenic mountain views, wooded trails, and gGorgeous waters it offers a perfect mix of rustic romance and natural beauty.
Meet Bek & Tyler
From the moment I met Bek & Tyler, it was clear how deeply they care for each other. They have this effortless connection- constantly smiling, making each other laugh, and at one point Tyler was even singing to her which made me laugh as well. The genuine chemistry made photographing them a dream.
Golden Hour & Beach Vibes
We began their session in the late afternoon to catch the golden hour light. The way the sun filtered through the trees and set just over the beach made for such a magical backdrop. Bek wore a soft , flowing dress that complimented the warm tones of the forest, Tyler kept things classic with a casual button-down and dark jeans. Their style was relaxed yet timeless- the perfect combo.
Natural Moments, Real Emotion
One of my favorite parts of any session is capturing the connection between my clients through movement based prompts. I'll never ask you to " just pose" Instead I guide you into moments that bring out natural laughter and genuine interaction. Some of my go to prompts are "Try to hold her in place while she tries to run away", "Play tag but don't catch her until you're close to me", "Whisper something in her ear to make her laugh", or a spontaneous"kiss attack". These fun little challenges help you relax, forget about the camera, and just enjoy yourself.
