Engagement Session at Salmon River Falls

Gabrielle + Gregory

Sometimes things don’t go as planned, and that’s okay! When I met Gabrielle and Greg at Salmon River Falls last week for their Salmon River engagement session, our first priority was getting in front of the falls …..and then we saw the orange safety fences and signs that said “Strictly Prohibited.” Apparently, there was some re-construction going on to the trail that leads down to the falls, and it was closed. BOOOOOO!!!!! It has been a year since I did an engagement session at Salmon River Falls, so I wasn’t expecting that. But, the silver lining is that the Upper Falls are simply scrumptious, so I knew that we would still have a great backdrop for our session. What I didn’t know was how incredible the session was going to wind up. I am LOVING these images, and I am loving that Gabrielle said she wanted to get in the water (and Greg agreed!)

Gabrielle and Greg fell in love with each other in one of my favorite restaurants, Chili’s! They met there after a church event and it has been true love ever since.

The magic these two make together is not limited to just gorgeous pictures. They also play their guitars and ukuleles together.

GGabrielle and Gregory spend their free time exploring. They particularly like waterfalls), hiking, rock climbing, playing with animals, movie nights, and spending time with their families.

After getting some stunning shots at the top of the falls, we journeyed over to the field across the street from the falls to change up the backdrop.
