Kristen & Chase | Wedding Engagement

Some love stories have a rhythm that feels timeless — natural, easy, and filled with quiet beauty. That’s exactly how it felt spending the day with Kristen and Chase during their wedding engagement session. Their connection was effortless, their laughter genuine, and the love they share unmistakably real.

We met Kristen and Chase on a golden afternoon that felt like it was made for storytelling. With soft light filtering through the trees and a calm breeze rolling across the landscape, every element lined up to create a setting as serene as their bond. Whether it was their soft smiles, the way Chase naturally reached for Kristen’s hand, or the way she looked at him when she thought no one was watching — it was clear that this was more than just a photo shoot. It was a moment in time worth remembering.

Our session began at a quiet, open field surrounded by tall grass and framed by rustic fencing. Kristen wore a flowing dress in soft earth tones that perfectly complimented the warm tones of the evening, while Chase opted for a clean, classic look that brought just the right contrast. They looked incredible, but more importantly, they looked comfortable — like themselves. And that’s what truly matters in engagement photography.

We guided them through a few poses, but most of the magic happened in the in-between moments — when they leaned into each other, whispered something only they could hear, or laughed mid-spin. These are the frames that tell a story, not just of this day, but of who they are as a couple.

As the light shifted, we moved to a nearby wooded path where the sun streamed in through the trees. Here, we captured some quieter, more intimate shots. Chase wrapped his arms around Kristen from behind, and they stood in silence for a few seconds, just breathing together. No words were needed. That moment alone told us everything we needed to know about their connection.

Later, we transitioned into a more urban space — weathered brick walls, exposed textures, and the kind of backdrops that bring out personality. Kristen changed into a more casual look, and the vibe shifted effortlessly. Their energy turned playful. They danced in the street, teased one another, and let their guard down entirely. These moments were unscripted, raw, and full of heart.

What made Kristen and Chase’s engagement session so memorable wasn’t just the scenery or the perfect light — it was them. Their ability to be present with each other, to enjoy the moment, and to simply be themselves made our job as storytellers a joy.

As filmmakers and photographers, we always look for the story beneath the surface. The way a couple communicates without speaking. The comfort of a shared glance. The security in a held hand. Kristen and Chase gave us all of that — and more. Their engagement session was more than a warm-up for the wedding day. It was a celebration of the journey they’ve taken so far and the life they’re building together.

These images will live on as part of their legacy — a time capsule of the season right before “I do.” And we feel incredibly honored to have captured it for them.
