Looking for the perfect outdoor fall or winter engagement session inspiration? Chiara and Matt are here to deliver! This session was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride through the seasons, emotions, and stunning Idaho landscapes. Although I’m based in Chicago, I will truly go wherever you need me to in order to capture your vision! Whether you’re looking for engagement session ideas, outfit inspo, or just want to take a peek into what a session looks like with me, this blog is for you!
So, get this: I first worked with Chiara and Matt during their engagement session in Chicago. They were so vibey and trusting that when they moved to Boise, they knew they had to have me fly out for some artistic magic in their new home state. I mean, who am I to say no to an adventure like that? This session was absolutely, positively, one for the memoirs. I can’t wait to capture their wedding in fall 2023!
Picture this: a 2-hour road trip into the remote Idaho mountains with the perfect fall and winter playlist in the background. We were sharing stories, laughing, and genuinely having the time of our lives. And here’s where it gets even wilder: we literally went through all four seasons during our drive! Sunny skies turned to autumnal hues, which transformed into a winter wonderland, and yes, we even hit a crazy snowstorm. Talk about an epic buildup to an unforgettable shoot!
Once we got to our destination, Chiara and Matt were absolutely in their element. They were unapologetically themselves, which, if you ask me, makes for the most authentic photos. This session was particularly special because we included a film add-on. I was ecstatic to incorporate some film shots that brought an added layer of dreaminess. Spoiler alert: you’ll be seeing more film options in my packages soon, because, oh my gosh, the results were stunning!
And as if the day couldn’t get any better, we capped off our session in the most perfect way imaginable: with warm food and red wine in a cozy log cabin restaurant. It was the ideal ending to an adventure session that felt like a scene straight out of a movie.
Look, every couple is special, but there’s something next-level when you get to work with clients who trust you as much as Chiara and Matt do. I can’t wait to capture more of their incredible journey when they tie the knot this fall. If you’re searching for a photographer who’s down for whatever wild ride you have in mind, look no further!
