Ryan + Hannah: A Vibrant Autumn Engagement Session at Watkins Mill
Vibrant Autumn Engagement Session at Watkins Mill | Wedding Photographer Kansas CIty
Ryan & Hannah wanted a natural outdoor location for their autumn engagement photos, and Watkins Mill was the perfect spot with plenty of variety.
Ryan and Hannah wanted a natural location for their engagement photos, and Watkins Mill State Park was the perfect location. The park is located just a little north of Kansas City, and offers beautiful woods, open fields, a lake, and an amazing view of gorgeous sunsets.
We loved the winding road with a variety of trees for a backdrop. We were gifted with the perfect day; there were hardly any other people there. We took advantage of the privacy and trekked all over the park to experience the full range of variety the location offers.
As a Kansas City wedding photographer, this location is on my short list for my next wedding north of KC!
The fall leaves were so beautiful, and while the air was a bit chilly, Hannah and Ryan stayed cozy and warm.
I was so glad Hannah chose her vibrant scarlet top. The richness and warmth were exactly right for their engagement photos.
Hannah and Ryan had the dip down!
The love they share is so sweet. The gentleness and friendship here is genuine.
The joy on Ryan’s face is contagious.
We took a short walk down to the water for a few minutes. It was much colder on the lake, but the serene water was breathtaking.
The way they make each other laugh is everything.
As the sun began to set, we walked over to an open field near the water. The warmth of sunset spilling over the tree line afforded a jawdropping view.
A family of geese skirted the fringe of the field, and even made it into a few frames!
Just look at that sun peeking through! The reds, golds and auburns were just beginning to show their colors in the tree line, making this one of my favorite engagement photos ever.
Peep our little geese friends over to the left of the frame.
Ryan, Hannah, it was such a joy to document your engagement photos before your wedding. May your marriage be filled with love, joy and laughter all the days of your lives!
