Originally, we’d planned to do Veronica & Tom’s engagement session up at Mt. Spokane, but when the weather was looking a little hit-or-miss, we decided to stick closer to home and shoot on the South Hill instead. And I have to say, it was fun to shoot so close to home! Veronica & Tom live near Manito Park too, so we were able to visit a few of their favorite spaces in the park, before wandering over to the Scoop for some ice cream and then off to find some beautiful light (and a hiking path!) on the South Hill.

Basically, the truth is that the photos are about you, not the location. And while it’s awesome to have your photos taken in a great location, it’s even better to have them taken in a place that means something to you. That can be in your neighborhood park or even your home. I love brainstorming spots that will not only be beautiful locations, but also have meaning to my couples.

Veronica & Tom, I can’t wait for your wedding next month!
