Klondike Park Photos // mariana + joe

I had such a blast taking Mariana and Joe’s Klondike Park engagement photos! 🧡

These two were NATURALS in front of my camera. They were so upbeat and fun to be around. Right at the start, they told me that they are excited and that they completely trust me and my vision and therefore are down for anything! Which was music to my ears 🤩. I absolutely took them up on that because I may have made them do a little hiking through all the rocks at Klondike Park…when Mariana was wearing heels😆. But they were truly such troopers and so incredibly easy to photograph!

In true St. Louis summer fashion, it was a whooping 90 degrees out during their engagement session. However, despite the heat we were so thankful we got the most GORGEOUS sunset that evening (scroll through these photos to see what I mean). Nothing makes me happier than being able to photograph glowy, warm sunsets with an awesome couple, so clearly I was having a really great time. 😉

It was so difficult picking out only a few favorites to share today on the blog. They all turned out so beautiful! Mariana and Joe are truly such a genuine, strong couple. I learned all about their exciting plans on the horizon like buying a house together, & finally getting married! I’m so honored I got to document this major milestone for them – and I am excited for their future together! ☀️ I know it will be amazing!
