Bryan and Emma’s Cinematic Engagement Session!

Bryan and Emma suggested we do their session at Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center, and might I say... it is the most beautiful place I have ever been!

This photo right here is straight out of a fairytale! It reminds me of The Princess Bride, and I am all about it! I am a girl who loves books, and these two had to have stepped straight out of one.

We wandered the grounds, stopping at every beautiful spot it had to offer. Not only once but twice, because all of these beautiful spots deserved a sunset feature as well! This movie-level magic was not all thanks to me. Emma and Bryan showed true love for each other and were willing to follow directions, and that makes a world of difference! God also blessed us with an amazingly gorgeous sunset that put the icing on the cake!

If I had to pick a favorite spot at this location, I do not think I could! I can narrow it down to two though, around the pond and around the field with horses in it! Which, for us, actually turned into about seven different spots because there were so many beautiful angles!

I am beyond thankful for the job I get to do. Stepping into the lives of so many people in love, and being able to capture the beauty that God sets before us.
