Eagle Creek Park Engagement {Heather & Luke}

Eagle Creek Park EngagementIt’s officially finals week at school and while my students are watching the best movie that ever existed (aka, Moana), I decided to finally put together Heather and Luke’s Eagle Creek Park Engagement session! We started off their session hiking on the trails of Eagle Creek Park, and if you haven’t been there, it is absolutely stunning! This was my first time visiting and I was blown away! I can’t believe I live just an hour away and had no idea that this beautiful park existed! Heather’s mother AND sister joined us as well! Not only do Heather and Luke go hiking at Eagle Creek pretty often, but her sister, Jenna, also works at the park! So this location was an obvious choice for their engagement session!

After getting to know Heather, Luke, and their family a bit more, we headed down to this gorgeous field full of whispy, golden grass, but the sun had started setting behind the trees way faster than we anticipated! So we had to find another field that was up the hill a bit. It looked like the perfect location, but when we finally got there, the grass was literally taller than us!! Heather and Luke really had to put on their “time to trust Bailey” pants because I’m sure when I asked them to get INTO the grass, they were a bit confused! Heather’s mom and sister jumped right on board to help and started stomping out a pathway for us! It was SO sweet of them and I can’t wait to see what they’ll do to help out on the wedding day in June! OH! And speaking of helping out, just ONE WEEK before their engagement session, Heather called up her mom to ask her if she could HAND-MAKE a fairytale princess dress for her! UHM, YEA. That’s love right there. And her mom did an incredible job on that dress, don’t you think!?

It’s not every day that your wedding photographer asks you to walk into a field that could possibly be full of bugs and who knows what else, but these two trusted me to the extreme, without hesitation, and I am completely in love with their session! I guess good things come to those who are willing to do weird things. Heather and Luke have such a romantic and joyful love, it seriously filled my heart just being around them for the evening! I couldn’t be more grateful for the help and encouragement we received from Heather’s family and now we’re just over 6 months away from the wedding! Heather and Luke, thank you SO much for trusting me! Your session was the definition of a fairytale engagement and now I’m just counting down the days until I get to see you again!
