Kaitlyn and Anthony’s engagement session at Gratwick Park was so fun! Located by the water at River and Ward Road, Gratwick Park offers the perfect mix of scenic walking trails, wildflowers, and breathtaking sunset views. With spots right by the water and occasional sightings of the Northern Lights, this park is a dream setting for any engagement photoshoot.
A Love Story Since Middle School
Kaitlyn and Anthony, who have been sweethearts since middle school, brought their love story to life in front of the camera. While they felt a bit camera-shy at first, we eased them in with some simple prompts—holding hands, looking at each other—and worked our way up to more guided poses. The result? Natural, beautiful moments that captured their bond.
Scenic Backdrops and Perfect Lighting
It was a bright, sunny day at Gratwick Park, so we found a shaded spot by the water under a tree. This allowed us to play with the lighting and create some stunning images that highlight Kaitlyn and Anthony’s connection. Park engagement sessions like this one are always a win for couples who love the outdoors. Kaitlyn and Anthony, who enjoy hiking at Amherst State Park with their dogs, felt right at home in this natural setting.
A Heartfelt Tribute
Kaitlyn had one special request for their session. Recently, one of their beloved dogs passed away unexpectedly, and she wanted to honor their memory by including the dog’s collar in some of the photos. We were more than happy to help them commemorate this important part of their lives, capturing a deeply personal moment during their engagement photoshoot.
A Small-World Connection
After sharing a few images from the session on social media, we discovered an incredible connection—Kaitlyn and Anthony are volunteers at Lakeview Animal Sanctuary, the same place where I help out with events! It’s always amazing when paths cross like this, reminding us of the small-world connections that bring people together.
We loved being part of Kaitlyn and Anthony’s engagement journey at Gratwick Park, and we can't wait to capture more moments of their love story.
