Missouri Botanical Garden Engagement session

When a couple picks one of their favorite spots for their engagement session it always brings that special meaning to what is already a special moment.

Dylan and Kourtney are season pass holders to the wonder and gem that is the Missouri Botanical Gardens. A gorgeous oasis - teaming with lush trees, the sweetest pathways, and the most picturesque spots at every corner.

Their energy was magnetic and contagious. So in love with each other and excited to have their first professional portraits taken of just the two of them. They pointed out so many spots in the gardens that they loved and chatted about their travels, families, and details about their wedding in November.

Since the gardens are colorful all year round but we were approaching the end of autumn, we were given the most beautiful color palette ranging from deep greens and cheerful blooms, along with warm oranges to the most sunny of yellows. It was truly unforgettable and I cannot wait to photograph what I know will be the most amazing wedding day for them!
