An outdoor photo session is one of our favorite days! We love covering every kind of wedding and adore engagement photo shoot sessions. To us, an engagement photo session is where the love begins to bloom, it is where two souls sing the same song, and by the wedding day, two souls start dancing to the same beat. To us, one of the best forms of love is simple, and comfortable right next to each other. We know that every love story is different, and every couple is unique, which is why days like these when we sit down and cover a happy story of a couple warm our hearts. It is like watching a beautiful love story start at the engagement photo session and bloom into true beauty by the time they tie the knot. Kristie and Patrick were a one–of–a–kind couple. Our engagement photographer not only had a great time helping them pose for photos but also had a blast working with them. The day of the engagement session was a pretty day. Early fall as it was, the weather outside was perfect and the chosen photoshoot spots were just right for the two! We love the choice of photo shoot location, it was lush green, full of spaces that were used as amazing photo locations, and the surroundings were ripe with color, all of which made their photo session beautiful. From the different sets of outfits to the bright smiles and their young rottweiler puppy, Patrick and Kristie’s outdoor photo shoot was fresh, unique, and charming. The outfits they had decided to use were stunning and softly juxtapositioned them from the surroundings. In nature, these two lovebirds were seen smiling and giggling. Our Pittsburg engagement photographer met the couple in the morning and talked about what they wanted for their engagement photo session. Excited, the couple shared that the chosen location for their engagement session was a park that both of them greatly admired. The moment our photographer looked at the photo shoot location, he knew why the two had selected it.
