PNW Woodsy Engagement Session

You know when you meet a couple, and you almost immediately know that these people found THEIR PERSON. That’s Bri and Trent. They love hard, they play hard, they laugh hard, and they do it all together. We decided to shoot in their backyard (YES, I know- it’s AMAZING) I love sessions like this because they are so incredibly relaxed and entirely infused with their personal life. We started off just on a little walk through their trees, their dog guided the way mostly. It was clearly a route the pup knew well and couldn’t wait to show me- flying through the trees and peeking back at us if we fell too far behind. This pup was their first baby, so naturally we had to snag a few photos with her in them. Then they loaded me up in their ATV and took me down the road a bit to an overlook- the trees cascaded down a cliff behind them and the sun beams literally swallowed them up. We talked about life and their lives and their son- at the time I was pregnant and getting ready to welcome my own son into this world, and hearing them talk about parenthood and see them completely light up as they talked about their son made me so excited for my own next chapter. We ended back at their house again, grabbed a blanket and spent some time just hanging in their front yard. Their son saw mom and dad having fun without him and made a beeline for them at full speed. Mama had open arms as she reached them and pulled him in to be a part of their photos- it was the sweetest ending to the most perfect evening. I can not wait to capture their wedding day and continue to tell their story.
