Allison and Harper’s love story began online. But it was during their first date—a sunset hike at Griffy Lake—that the sparks really began to fly. As they took in the beautiful views, they bonded over their shared love of spending time outdoors. So, after deciding to spend their lives together, returning to Griffy Lake for their engagement session was an easy choice!
I felt so honored to capture this engagement session at Griffy Lake. It’s a picture-perfect spot just outside of Bloomington, and it held so much meaning for Allison and Harper. They wanted their session to reflect their personalities and the joy they share, and they brought all the energy that makes for beautiful, authentic photos. From the way they looked at each other to their carefree dancing, every moment felt genuine. I still smile every time I look back at these portraits.
A Meaningful Engagement Session at Griffy Lake
We began our session with an easy stroll around the perimeter of the lake—a sweet callback to the couple’s very first date. Since this was a spring engagement session, the woods were lush with fresh greenery, making the entire trail feel vibrant and full of life.
From there, we made our way to one of the grassy meadows overlooking the lake. The setting sun filtered through the trees, casting warm light across the grass in shades of green and gold. It was the perfect romantic backdrop! Allison and Harper twirled each other, spun in circles, laughed together, and simply soaked in the joy of being engaged.
Effortless Style for a Spring Engagement Session
The couple kept their outfits simple, timeless, and romantic. They wore Birkenstocks that could handle the uneven trail while still pairing beautifully with their looks. Allison’s white hair bow and flowy maxi skirt were the perfect complement to Harper’s structured cream mini dress. Of course, they each wore their stunning engagement rings, and I made sure to capture a few close-up details.
