There’s something about summer in Georgia, the golden afternoon light, the lush green landscapes, and, yes, the kind of heat that has you searching for any excuse to jump in a fountain. For Cillian and Calen, that’s exactly what made their UGA North Campus engagement session one for the books.
From the moment we met, it was clear these two were in their own world, constantly laughing, teasing, and holding onto each other like no one else was around. The warm, humid afternoon might have slowed some couples down, but not these two. Their energy was contagious, and it turned the entire session into a joyful adventure.
We began our walk through the historic Founders Garden, a tucked-away gem on campus with lush greenery, brick pathways, and quiet corners perfect for intimate portraits. The garden’s timeless charm paired beautifully with Cillian and Calen’s playful chemistry, giving us frames that felt both romantic and alive with movement.
From there, we wandered through the nearby streets and courtyards, taking in the unique architectural details that make UGA’s North Campus such a rich backdrop. Each stop became a stage for their natural laughter and connection—no forced poses, just genuine moments.
We wrapped the evening in front of the campus fountain, where Cillian and Calen made good on a promise to end things with a bang. Armed with an inflatable ring floaty, they jumped right in, clothes, laughter, and all. The splash, the smiles, and the spontaneity perfectly summed up who they are together: adventurous, uninhibited, and absolutely in love.
This is exactly why engagement sessions are such a special part of the wedding journey. They give couples the freedom to be themselves, to create memories in meaningful places, and to capture their connection in ways that are as unique as their story.
If you’re dreaming of an engagement session that’s equal parts romantic and fun, UGA’s North Campus offers endless possibilities. From historic charm to playful water moments, it’s the perfect place to let your personality shine.
