Leeanna & Nathan drove from Michigan for their Franklin Park Conservatory Garden Engagement Session. Last year, Nathan proposed to Leeanna in the tulip area, and we agreed that would be a great place to start the photo session.
The couple brought their newly adopted pup, Nyla, along for some photos. She was a Very Good Girl for her portraits. After her photoshoot, she explored the park with Leeanna & Nathan's friends, who came to dog-wrangle.
Overall, the session was beautiful, fun, and adventurous. Here are a few reasons why Leeanna & Nathan had such a magical engagement session:
Soft Light
Spring sunshine tends to be softer and more diffused than the harsh sun during other seasons. This flattering light creates a natural glow and allows me to capture moments without harsh shadows.
Vibrant Colors
Spring bursts with color – blooming flowers and fresh green foliage. This creates a naturally beautiful backdrop for a love story.
Candid Moments
Part of a couple's session focuses on capturing genuine interactions and emotions, rather than staged poses. This allows for an organic, stress-free connection.
Relaxed Atmosphere
Without the pressure of posing all the time, couples can relax and be themselves, leading to more genuine smiles and interactions.
Unique Keepsakes
Engagement photos become a unique record of a special time in a couple's relationship, capturing the essence of who they are together.
Creative Expression
Artistic photos go beyond standard poses. They capture love stories in a creative and unique way. Using light, in-camera techniques, composition, and editing to create visually stunning photos that are more like works of art than typical portraits.
Symbolism & New Beginnings
The vibrant colors and life of spring evoke feelings of hope, joy, and optimism – emotions perfectly suited to celebrating an engagement. Spring represents new beginnings and growth, perfectly mirroring the start of a new chapter in a couple's life together.
Romantic Atmosphere
The natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere of a garden create a romantic and intimate setting for engagement photos.
