The top priority for Makayla and Daniel for their engagement pictures: taking them by a waterfall. One of the best waterfall locations in the Seattle area is Franklin Falls. It is a short hike down and you can stand right at the base of the crashing waterfall. We had our session at the end of the fall season, so there were some leaves clinging on in bright, warm colors, and the air was chilly. The mist from the falls sprayed us several yards away.

Makayla and Daniel were up for the adventure. They cuddled up to brace themselves against the cold and wet, and wandered with me over rocks. They were willing to go wherever I wanted them to get the shot. Now THAT’S my favorite kind of couple! ;)

I’ll let these photos speak for themselves. I hope they inspire you to have your own waterfall portrait session!

Congratulations to these cute lovebirds! I can’t wait for their wedding at Trinity Tree Farm this summer!
