Mari and Eli Engagement

Eli and Mari are one of those couples who instantly make you feel like you’re part of their story. With their wedding coming up in 2025, they wanted their engagement session to be as fun and adventurous as they are. They chose our Local Adventure Session, and it couldn’t have been more perfect!

We met up just as the golden hour began and there’s really something about that glow that makes every photo feel like pure magic. Right from the start, it was clear how much fun these two have together. They brought a soccer ball with them (a nod to one of their favorite activities), and it added a playful touch to the session. Kicking the ball around, they couldn’t stop laughing, and you could feel the energy and love between them.

As we continued the session, we headed to an overlook with breathtaking views of the river and valley below. The sun was starting to set, casting a golden glow over the landscape, and it felt like the perfect spot to pause and take it all in. Eli and Mari were all smiles, laughing together and enjoying the quiet beauty of the moment. By the time the sun dipped closer to the horizon, the sky lit up with rich colors that made for some truly amazing photos. We captured some gorgeous silhouettes of the two of them, framed against the setting sun.

Eli and Mari’s session was everything an engagement session should be, personal, fun, and full of love. I can’t wait to capture even more of their love story at their 2025 wedding!
