Exploring the PNW

It’s always such a joy to shoot engagement sessions, especially when the couple radiates warmth and happiness like Hanna and Brett. Just last month, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful winter day in the PNW for their Gold Creek Pond Engagement Session. The views of Crystal Mountain provided an epic backdrop for this stunning couple as they shared sweet embraces and heartfelt laughs. We loved capturing all of the romantic moments between them – from breathless kisses on its wooden bridge to whisperings of I love yous amidst snow-kissed trees! We had so much fun getting to know Hanna and Brett during our session with them and can’t wait to capture their wedding day beauty soon!

Gold Creek Pond: Just 30 minutes from Seattle

Hanna and Brett were originally planning to do their engagement session for West Seattle. Though a view of Puget Sound would have been beautiful, I’m so glad they decided to change their minds at the last minute and planned for a snowy engagement session at Gold Creek Pond! Gold Creek Pond is just under an hour’s drive from Seattle and a perfect place for a snowy engagement session! With it’s mostly flat terrain, it’s a fairly easy walk around the lake. So you don’t have to hike for a stunning view! Hanna and Brett describe themselves as “outdoorsy”. So this two-hour session in freezing temperatures was no sweat for these two…or their sweet dog! Check out their stunning session below!
