Carefree Galena Engagement Session

Sydney and Brett are seriously the cutest!! I had such a blast capturing their engagement session down in Galena – it was the perfect combo of fun and relaxed vibes when we went from downtown to overlooking the bluffs.

We started off strolling around the main streets in downtown Galena. Sydney and Brett were all smiles and just being the most fun, easygoing couple.

As the sun started to set, we headed out to the bluffs overlooking the water. The lighting was glowing and warm, and Sydney and Brett just got all cuddly and romantic. The way Brett and Sydney looked at each other – gah! They shared some sweet moments together that I just know they’ll treasure.

Throughout the session, Sydney and Brett’s energy was so positive and carefree. They weren’t afraid to be their silly, playful selves, which made for natural photos that screamed “them”. You can tell they don’t take themselves too seriously, and just want to soak up every moment together.

I’m so pumped I got to be the one to document this exciting next chapter for Sydney and Brett. Their engagement session was such a good time, and I can only imagine their wedding at Ashton Hill is going to be an absolute blast. These two lovebirds are the real deal, and I feel lucky to have captured their adorable relationship and season of their lives!
