A Picture-Perfect Fall Evening in the Mountains
Fall at Deer Creek Overlook brings rich tones of gold, amber, and deep green. The kind of scenery that feels straight out of a romantic movie. The mountains surrounding Deer Creek Overlook create a dramatic backdrop, while the open views overlooking Deer Creek Reservoir add that dreamy, expansive feel couples love.
Katelyn and Max embraced the season beautifully. Fall engagement sessions in Utah are especially popular because of the colors and lighting. It simply can’t be replicated.
From Cruise Ship Romance to a Destination Wedding in Puerto Rico
One of my favorite parts about photographing engagement sessions is getting to hear each couple’s story and Katelyn and Max’s is so unique.
These two met while working together on a cruise ship. What started as a workplace connection quickly turned into something much deeper, and now they’re planning a destination wedding in Puerto Rico in summer 2026.
Their adventurous spirit absolutely makes sense when you know they met at sea. They’re outgoing, full of life, and constantly laughing, which made photographing them effortless and so much fun.
A Super Outgoing Couple Who Made the Session So Fun
Some couples need a little warming up in front of the camera, but not Katelyn and Max.
From the moment we started, they were joking, dancing, twirling, and embracing every moment. Their energy was contagious. They weren’t afraid to be playful, and that’s what makes engagement photos feel authentic and natural.
The best engagement sessions aren’t about stiff poses they’re about movement, laughter, and connection. And these two absolutely nailed it.
