Fort Vancvouer National Historic Site is one of my favorite locations for an engagement session. Madeline & Spencer were so much fun to hang out with and capture their sweet love. Look at their cute smiles & happy faces!

The summer evening sun was showing up for us in Vancouver, Washington this beautiful day. Engagement sessions that have golden sunsets are just that much more beautiful! We can never be sure what the PNW weather brings, but when it’s sunny we have a whole new appreciation, especially at photoshoots.

Mt Hood peeking out in the background was so pretty! And the little white flowers add a little romance to the photos.

Fort Vancouver National Historic Site has such a beautiful garden, especially the beautiful walkways! In the summer the white flowers are perfect for engagement photos. Such a beautiful romantic touch.

We stopped by a cute park bench for a few shots & look how cute they are.

We love a sunset glow peeking through the tree leaves.

Make sure to laugh & have fun at your session like these two!

As the sun lowers, it get softer and more flattering. When you plan your engagement session, look at the time of day! And of course I’ll help you with that in your engagement session guide–complimentary after booking.

Fort Vancouver has a variety of backdrops, perfect for sessions. Like the orchard area, it gives a soft romantic look to the photos.

Don’t forget the beautiful grassy fields in the summertime, and the extra touch of the white daisies look amazing in camera.

We even found a ladybug!

Some of my favorite photos are towards the end of your session, more creative and you are more relaxed naturally in front of the camera! Look how natural these two are.

If you haven’t already, save this post for later engagement session outfit inspiration. Perfectly complimentary while not too matchy-matchy. The deep blue and the light dress are perfect for the backdrop with greenery and other colors. Making them stand out and compliment their skin tones.

Vancouver, Washington really showed up for us that night! Look at the perfect cotton candy skies for sunset. Absolutely romantic for the end of their beautiful engagement session.

Thanks for reading again! Let me know which ones are your favorites, I love hearing from readers!
