These casual sunset beach engagement photos with Maddy and Brian were the sweetest ever! These two are both SOOO easy going and loving! I’ve known Maddy since we played high school soccer together so it was super special that I had the opportunity to capture her and Brian’s engagement photos! We first started the session during sunset at Natural Bridges State Park and it was so dreamy and romantic. The glow of the sunset here was just insanely gorgeous, and I loved capturing these two take it in together. Afterwards we headed over to the original Betty’s Burgers which is their favorite local spot!

Brian and Maddy also brought their adorable pup along and included him in their engagement photos which was so sweet! I LOVE when couples include a favorite activity, food or location into their session that’s special to them as a couple. It truly adds so much to a shoot and personalizes it to you and tells your story! For Maddy and Brian, getting some burgers, French fries and milkshakes at Betty’s Burgers is a favorite, and I loved that they included it into their session, and of course not without sneaking their sweet pup some yummy fries too!
