There was a fading smoky haze in the air, but I had no complaints, because the sun was just that romantic shade of auburn with a warm golden glow. I’d never seen vineyards look so pretty, not to mention a perfect granny smith apple orchard!

We’d emailed just a few times and chatted on the phone to talk about wedding details, but we’d never talked much about engagement photos!! When Weston + Hollie very first inquired and we started talking about their story, I knew instantly they were not only perfect for each other, but that they were beyond incredible together! I couldn’t WAIT to get them in front of the camera for their engagement session! However…we live hours apart, so it wasn’t going to be easy choosing a date to capture a late summer sunset!

When I realized I was going to be in the Lake Chelan area for several weeks with weddings, I sent Hollie a quick last minute email and said, “I have a free afternoon!!!” And it just so happened that they did too! They met me at one of my very favorite places just outside of Alta Lake, where we explored the beautiful orchards and ohhh…the golden hills made for a stunning desert look!!! I was in HEAVEN!!!

And these two…really now, have you ever seen a more photogenic, stunning couple!? I cannot WAIT for their wedding next June!!

Weston + Hollie, thank you for making the drive out for this location! I think it was worth it!! ;)

Enjoy!!!
