There’s something undeniably enchanting about late summer—the air is warm, the light is golden, and nature is at its most vibrant. Sarah and Jon chose the perfect time and place to celebrate their engagement, and Coffee Creek Preserve provided the perfect backdrop for their love story.

As soon as we arrived, it was clear that Coffee Creek Preserve was a special place. The lush greenery, winding trails, and serene creek created a natural sanctuary that perfectly matched Sarah and Jon’s easygoing, nature-loving spirits. The late summer sun cast a golden glow over the landscape, making the entire scene feel like something out of a dream.

They walked hand in hand along the wooden and cobblestone trails, with the soft rustling of leaves and the gentle murmur of the creek providing a peaceful soundtrack to their session. The connection between them was palpable; every glance, smile, and touch radiated love and joy.

One of the highlights of the session was capturing Sarah and Jon on the big rocks that separated the creek. The water below mirrored the sky, creating a perfect reflection of the couple. Standing there, surrounded by towering trees and the sounds of nature, they looked completely at home. Their joy was infectious, and every shot captured the essence of their love—natural, unforced, and full of life.

As we moved deeper into the preserve, the late summer light began to soften, creating a warm, golden haze that enveloped my sweet couple. We found a quiet spot by the creek, where the water gently flowed over smooth stones. Here, they shared some of our session’s most intimate moments, with Sarah resting her head on Jon’s shoulder as they talked about their future together. These quiet, tender moments were a beautiful contrast to the vibrant energy of the season, highlighting the depth of their bond.

As our session drew to a close, the sun began to dip lower in the sky, casting long shadows and bathing everything in a warm, golden light. Sarah and Jon took a moment to simply be together, standing on the edge of the creek and taking in the beauty around them. The soft glow of the setting sun—a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Sarah and Jon’s late summer engagement session at Coffee Creek Preserve was a celebration of love, nature, and the promise of a beautiful future together. I CAN’T WAIT to celebrate their wedding at the beautiful Williams Orchard on my birthday!!!
