There’s something undeniably magical about golden hour—the soft light, the warm tones, and the romantic atmosphere it creates. That magic was on full display during Kerstin and Zach’s engagement session, where every moment seemed to glow with love. As the sun set, so did any worries, making space for pure joy, intimacy, and connection. It’s sessions like these that remind me why I love capturing love stories!
A Love That Shines
Kerstin and Zach have a beautiful relationship that shines through in every photo. From their shared laughter to the gentle touches and playful glances, it’s clear that these two are truly meant to be together. Whether they were embracing, whispering to each other, or simply enjoying the sunset, their chemistry was undeniable. They made my job as a photographer easy, letting their love guide each pose and interaction.
Creating the Perfect Setting
We chose an open field setting for this session, allowing the sunset’s golden hues to wrap around the couple, adding warmth and vibrancy to every shot. Kerstin wore a cozy white sweater paired with statement jewelry, while Zach kept it classic in a brown corduroy jacket and jeans. Their outfit choices complemented the fall season, bringing an earthy feel that was perfect against the lush background.
Capturing the Details
One of the things I love most about engagement sessions is capturing the little details that make each couple unique. The way Kerstin’s eyes light up when Zach looks at her, or how he holds her close as if she’s his whole world—these are the moments that tell the real story. I focused on those intimate details, like Kerstin’s engagement ring, Zach’s soft kisses on her forehead, and the way their hands intertwined as they walked together.
Why Golden Hour?
Golden hour is every photographer’s dream lighting, but it’s so much more than just beautiful light. It creates a mood—a feeling of peace and serenity. During this time, the sun casts a soft glow that’s perfect for romantic portraits. It enhances the natural colors around you, adding depth and warmth to every image. For Kerstin and Zach, it made their session feel even more special, highlighting their connection in a soft, ethereal way.
Planning Your Own Engagement Session?
If you’re thinking about your own engagement photos, consider choosing golden hour. Not only will it elevate the look of your images, but it will also create a comfortable, intimate setting that’s perfect for couples who want to relax and enjoy the experience. Dress in colors that complement the season, pick a location that feels meaningful to you, and most importantly, just be yourselves!
Kerstin and Zach’s session is proof that love shines brightest in the golden moments. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two as they start planning their big day!
Congratulations, Kerstin & Zach!
