Colleen and Ryan have been together since high school. Their love story began when meeting at a high school dance. Fast forward ten years and they are happily engaged.
When first meeting with Colleen and Ryan, they shared they wanted portraits that combined both Twilight wedding and forest vibes. Nothing fits those parameters better than the redwoods! Colleen selected a beautiful blue gown to enhance the romantic and formal feeling to their session.

Following a quick wardrobe change into something a little more casual, we made our way back through the redwoods. Colleen and Ryan embraced their playfulness, leading to lifts and dips around the rest of the park. Each moment was filled with laughter and an ounce of surprise to see what they'd do next. What a fun way to spice up your engagement portraits!
