{An Iowa Fall Engagement Session}
Alyssa and Brandon’s engagement session was the perfect reflection of who they are…laid back, easygoing, and full of love. We spent the afternoon on their beautiful wooded and pasture property, the same place where they’ll say “I do” next year. The warm fall colors, wide-open fields, and peaceful setting couldn’t have been more fitting for these two.
There’s something incredibly meaningful about capturing engagement photos on the same ground where their wedding day will unfold. When it came time for Brandon to propose, he chose another place close to his heart, while checking trail cameras. It caught Alyssa completely off guard but, of course, hard for her to not accept.
Alyssa and Brandon met through mutual friends at Flipside, and over time built a life full of love, laughter, and the sweetest kind of chaos with their two little ones. Their wedding day will be a beautiful reflection of who they are…an intimate ceremony on the land they love, followed by a relaxed reception on the farm shop surrounded by friends and family.
Alyssa and Brandon, thank you so much for letting me capture this special season of your life. Your love for each other and the life you’ve built together shines through in every image, and I can’t wait to celebrate with you on your big day!
