H + D - Engagement Session in the Craik Valley


This fall has been something special! We’ve been spoiled with the most incredible weather; warm days, golden light, and so many opportunities to enjoy being outdoors. It was the perfect backdrop for Hayley and Devin’s engagement session in the beautiful Craik Valley. I’ve had the chance to photograph these two a couple of times before (including a styled “fake wedding” shoot), and I couldn’t be more excited to be the one capturing their real wedding next year!


There’s something so effortless about the way they are together - the chemistry is undeniable, and it shines through every single photo. Of course, this session came with a little extra personality… their new puppy! Honestly, he completely stole the show. For such a tiny ball of energy, he was surprisingly well-behaved! Spending the evening with the three of them was such a joy. The way they naturally gravitate toward each other and the love that just radiates between them made my job way too easy. I cannot wait to celebrate and document their big day next year. If their engagement session is any indication, their wedding will be nothing short of magic.
