Palisade State Park | Garretson, SD

---

There’s always a little bit of a struggle doing an engagement in the dead of winter. Most couples try avoid shooting in the winter months in South Dakota. It’s very cold and there is a lack of color from not having any green grass or trees. Hailey preferred the idea of a snowy winter session I was all in! Here in the midwest everything is unpredictable and sadly didn’t get any snow for their session. Aaron proposed to Hailey this fall by a waterfall in the Black Hills, SD. We wanted continue with that same mountain look. So we choose to do their session at Palisades State Park. Which is known for their epic mountain and rock formations.

During their session we walked along many trails, climbed up a hill, nuzzled and cuddled by a river! We captured some beautiful images even though it was freezing! I had a blast adventuring with you two! All of us were almost frozen by the end of their session but you wouldn’t even be able to tell in this images. Thank you for not judging me when I couldn’t stop from getting so giddy when the sun came out to bring us some glow! When you scroll to the bottom, you’ll see why I couldn’t contain my excitement! Enjoy the many of my favorites from their session. I cannot wait for your summer wedding!

Thanks for taking the time to view my work!
