When it comes to capturing love against a jaw-dropping backdrop, Arabia Mountain delivers every time — and Naysha and Steven’s engagement session was no exception. This stylish, fun-loving couple brought it on with a bold red dress, dapper grey and blue attire, and a playful picnic setup that made the whole day feel effortless and joyful. Let’s dive into all the colorful details of their unforgettable shoot!
A Striking Red Dress and Dapper Grey and Blue Style
Naysha was an absolute vision in her bright red dress, which popped beautifully against the bright blue skies and muted, rocky landscape. The bold color choice wasn’t just stunning — it reflected her vibrant personality and gave the session a lively, romantic feel.
Steven complemented her perfectly with his light-grey button shirt and blue slacks, pulling together a classic yet modern look. His outfit added a soft, sophisticated contrast that allowed both of them to shine individually and as a couple.
The Stunning Beauty of Arabia Mountain
Arabia Mountain, located just outside of Atlanta, Georgia, is known for its unique landscapes — rolling rock formations, patches of vibrant greenery, and sweeping views that stretch for miles. It’s a dream spot for couples looking for something a little different from the typical garden or park setting
The mountain’s warm, natural tones created a neutral canvas that made Naysha’s red dress pop and allowed the emotion between these two to take center stage.
A Playful Picnic Scene Full of Personality
One of the sweetest touches of their session was the adorable picnic scene they set up. Complete with a cozy blanket, snacks, and lots of laughter, it perfectly captured the laid-back, joy-filled dynamic between them.
Little details like a basket of fresh fruit, sparkling drinks, and even a few candid moments of shared smiles made these images feel authentic and heartwarming.
Photographer’s Tip: If planning a picnic setup, bring props that are meaningful to you as a couple for a personal touch.
Fun-Loving Energy That Lit Up the Entire Session
The real magic of Naysha and Steven’s engagement shoot was their energy. These two weren’t afraid to laugh out loud, dance barefoot on the rocks, or cuddle up during the breezy moments. Their playful spirit kept the session relaxed and organic, which always leads to the most genuine, heartfelt photos.
If you’re wondering how to get natural photos like this, the key is simple: have fun and be yourself! Trust your photographer to guide you when needed, but let your personalities shine.
Perfect Timing: Golden Hour Glow
We scheduled the session for late afternoon to catch that perfect golden hour light — and it did not disappoint. The way the sun dipped behind the mountain ridges, bathing the landscape (and the couple) in a soft, dreamy glow, was pure “chef’s kiss”.
Golden hour always enhances skin tones, soften shadows, and adds an almost cinematic quality to every shot — which is why we recommend it for all engagement session when possible!

A Quick Note on Safety at Arabia Mountain
While Arabia Mountain is absolutely breathtaking, it’s important to be mindful of your belongings while visiting. Unfortunately, during this session, our car was broken into while we were up exploring the mountain. To avoid any issues, we highly recommend not leaving any valuables inside your vehicle — even if they’re tucked away or hidden. It’s always better to bring essentials with you in a backpack or leave valuables safely at home. We want your engagement session to be filled with nothing but amazing memories, so a little extra caution goes a long way!
