couple’s adventure photography sessions have been all the rage lately. i’m sure you’ve seen it all over instagram- adorable couple’s traveling to insane locations for engagement photos or just to capture some memories! adventure sessions are my FAVORITE because they let couple’s put their guard down and really connect and bond while doing something meaningful to them. but i’m here to let you in on a little secret 🤫 you don’t need to dish out thousands on a plane ticket out west for an adventure session (however, please invite me if you do decide to do this). heck, you don’t even have to go on a hike!
