When a couple brings their dogs and a bottle of champagne to their engagement session, you know you’re in for something truly special. Courtney and Dylan’s Sope Creek engagement session was the perfect blend of earthy charm, sentimental connection, and laid-back elegance—all with a bit of summer heat to keep us moving.

Located just outside Atlanta, Sope Creek Trail offers a unique mix of scenic hiking paths, historic ruins, and tranquil water views. It’s one of those places where time slows down just enough to let love breathe—and that’s exactly what happened with these two.

Starting at the Lake | Pups, Champagne, and Quiet Moments

We kicked off their Sope Creek engagement session on the wooden deck overlooking the lake—an idyllic, peaceful spot nestled in the trees. The late afternoon light flickered through the canopy, giving us a soft glow as Courtney and Dylan sipped chilled champagne and took a quiet moment together. Their two dogs wandered nearby giving them some alone time.

It was hot and muggy in that classic Georgia summer kind of way, but these two never let it slow them down. They were all smiles, laughs, and their little gestures is what made the whole session feel intimate and authentic.

Into the Woods | Ruins, Romance, and the River

After a short hike, we arrived at the iconic Sope Creek ruins—a historic paper mill remnants cradled by lush forest and a babbling creek. It’s cinematic, slightly rugged, and incredibly romantic.

Courtney’s flowy dress moved effortlessly with the ever so slight breeze, and Dylan’s casual, clean style complemented the natural backdrop. Together, they looked completely at ease among the stonework and the rushing river behind it. We captured a series of portraits that balanced editorial drama with deep emotional connection—images that speak not only to their love but also to the legacy they’re building.

A Striking Red Dress and Dapper Grey and Blue Style

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.

Lake Lanier Engagement Session | Set Sail During Winter

April 25, 2025 0 Engagements, Lake Laneir

Storm clouds. Wind-whipped waves. A chill in the air. Kayla and Christopher embraced all of it during their bold and beautiful winter engagement session on a sailboat charted by Lord Nelson Charters at Lake Lanier. What started as a cold and blistery afternoon transformed into something magical with golden sunlight breaking through the storm.

Stormy Skies Set a Dramatic Tone

The session began with a dramatic backdrop—thick storm clouds rolled in over Lake Lanier, painting the sky with silvery blues and moody grays. While most would shy away from shooting in this kind of weather, we leaned into it. The contrast between the dark sky and the couple’s warm energy made for breathtaking shots right from the start.

Sailing into the Wind—And Into Each Other’s Arms

Kayla and Christopher were completely in their element aboard the sailboat. They laughed as the wind whipped through their hair and leaned into each other for warmth. The sailboat became both a literal and symbolic vessel for their love—weathering the wind together with smiles that said, “Bring it on.“

Breaking Clouds and Beautiful Light during Lake Lanier Engagement Session

Halfway through the session, the clouds began to part. Golden light streamed through, casting a soft glow over the water and catching the edges of the boat’s sail. This shift gave us a completely different vibe for the second half of the shoot—dreamy, romantic, and filled with that warm pre-sunset glow. It was nature’s own version of a reward for braving the cold.

Champagne Celebrations on Deck

In a spontaneous moment of celebration, Kayla and Christopher popped a bottle of champagne right on deck. The spray of bubbly against the moody sky made for an unforgettable shot (and one that’s going to be a favorite for years to come). It was the perfect mix of classy, fun, and candid—just like them.

Golden Hour Dockside Drama

We wrapped up the session with some stunning dockside portraits just as the sun dipped below the horizon. The water reflected streaks of amber and rose, and the quiet calm of the lake created a peaceful close to an otherwise exciting afternoon. The dock gave us a solid visual contrast to the movement of the boat, and Kayla and Christopher’s connection only deepened in that moment.

FAQs About Lake Lanier Engagement Sessions

Is Lake Lanier a good location for winter engagement photos?
Absolutely! While it can be cold, the lack of crowds and the moody skies create stunning visual drama. Just be sure to dress warmly and check the weather forecast in advance.

Can we really shoot on a boat event if it’s cold?
Yes—but it depends on the day’s wind conditions and your comfort level. Sailboats offer a unique, romantic setting, but we always recommend extra layers and warm footwear for winter sessions.

Do I need a permit to shoot engagement photos at Lake Lanier?
In most public areas, no permit is required for small portrait sessions, but it’s always a good idea to double-check with the marina or park service, especially if using private docks or boats.

What time of day is best for a Lake Lanier engagement shoot?
Golden hour—about an hour before sunset—is ideal for soft, flattering light. Overcast or stormy days can also bring out moody tones that are perfect for dramatic sessions like this one.

A Spring Engagement Session at Arabia Mountain

If you’re dreaming of a unique and cinematic backdrop for your engagement photos, Arabia Mountain in the springtime might be your perfect choice. When we met up with Emily and Charles for their session, the mountain’s otherworldly rockscape was painted with the vivid red of blooming Diamorpha. Add in the drama of gathering storm clouds and the magic of sunbeams breaking through — and we had the kind of setting that every photographer dreams about.

A Love Story told Through Light and Weather

As we started the session, the sky was already heavy with the promise of a spring storm. The wind picked up, giving movement to Emily’s dress and hair — elements that made their images feel alive and emotionally charged. The clouds created a natural softbox, giving their portraits a rich, moody tone. Then, just as we reached one of the rocky peaks, the clouds parted. Light streamed through in golden ribbons, spotlighting them in one of the most romantic moments of the day.

The Beauty of Arabia Mountain in the Spring

Springtime at Arabia Mountain is a short-lived treasure. The granite outcroppings come to life with the fiery blooms of Diamorpha — a tiny succulent that turns the landscape into a surreal, red-tinted dreamscape. We took full advantage of the bloom, capturing intimate portraits of Emily and Charles surrounded by nature’s natural confetti.

How Weather Created a Mood-Driven Photo Experience

Most couples might worry when clouds roll in, but as photographers, we know that unpredictable weather often leads to unforgettable images. The combination of overcast softness and sun flares added texture, contrast, and emotion to every frame. These aren’t just engagement photos — they’re a cinematic love story set to the rhythms of nature.

Styling That Compliments the Landscape

Emily and Charles chose perfectly for the environment. Emily wore a flowing neutral-toned dress that echoed the earthy hues of Arabia Mountain, while Charles kept it classic and relaxed. Their wardrobe allowed them to stand out without taking away from the stunning natural setting.

From laughing against the wind to leaning into the quiet stillness as the sun dipped below the horizon, they were present with each other. And that’s where the real magic lives — in their connection.

FAQ About Arabia Mountain Engagement Sessions

When is the best time to photograph an engagement session at Arabia Mountain?

Spring is especially beautiful due to the blooming Diamorpha (March—early April), but sunrise or sunset year-round offers the best light and minimal crowds.

Currently, no photography permit is required for casual portrait sessions. However, always check the Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance website before planning, as regulations can change.

When a couple shows up with great style and a heart for adventure, sparks happen—and Kim and Michael’s Mason Mill Park engagement session was exactly that.

Tucked in the heart of Decatur, Georgia, Mason Mill Park offered the exact mix of nature, architecture and urban charm. With clear blue skies and puffy clouds above and the soft golden glow of afternoon light, we explored the boardwalk trails that wind throughout the park. We started at the tennis center that gave us unexpected but welcomed architectural inspiration, call ing to our creative way of seeing the world a little differently—finiding angles, light and moments that feel fresh and one-of-a-kind.

Along our walk for Kim and Michael’s Mason Mill Park engagement session, we stumbled across bursts of personality—graffiti walls, vibrant art installations and dreamy meadows where the grit of the dirt met the beauty of tall grass and open space. It was the perfect metaphor for Kim and Michael: bold, grounded and full of life.

Kim started our session in a raspberry-hued dress paired with booties, while Michael kept it casual-cool in jeans and a long-sleeved tee. As the sun started to dip lower, they elevated the vibe with a stunning red dress and heels for her and jeans with a sharp blue shirt and blazer for him. It was effortless elegance meets playful charm—the perfect snapshot of who they are as a couple.

Thank you for a great afternoon!
