Katelyn & Alex | Birds Hill Park Engagement Photos with Apollo
Engagement sessions are always a great opportunity to get outside, explore somewhere beautiful, and capture some relaxed photos before the wedding day. Katelyn and Alex chose Birds Hill Provincial Park, just outside Winnipeg, for their engagement photos, and they brought along a pretty special guest: their beautiful golden retriever, Apollo!
Between the natural scenery, a great couple, and an adorable four-legged companion, we had everything we needed for a fun engagement session.
Engagement Photos at Birds Hill Provincial Park
Birds Hill Park is easily one of our favourite locations for engagement photography near Winnipeg. With its beautiful wooded areas, open fields, winding trails, and natural surroundings, there's so much variety to work with.
For Katelyn and Alex's session, the park provided a beautiful backdrop for their engagement portraits. One of the things we love about photographing couples here is how easy it is to create a mix of images without needing to travel far between locations.
Whether it's the soft light filtering through the trees or the wide-open natural spaces, Birds Hill Park offers plenty of opportunities for beautiful, relaxed engagement photos.
Apollo Steals a Little of the Spotlight
Of course, we can't talk about this engagement session without mentioning Apollo!
Katelyn and Alex brought their beautiful golden retriever along for some of their photos, and we're always happy when couples decide to include their dogs in an engagement session.
Pets are such a big part of the family, so it makes perfect sense to have them included in these memories.
Having Apollo there also added a little extra personality to the session. Engagement photos don't always have to be perfectly posed, and including a dog is a great way to capture some fun, natural moments along the way.
Plus, it's pretty hard to go wrong with a golden retriever in your engagement photos!
Keeping Engagement Photos Relaxed and Natural
One of the biggest things we focus on during engagement sessions at COJO Photo is making the experience feel comfortable and natural.
You don't need to know how to pose or have any experience in front of a camera. We'll provide a little direction when needed, but the goal is always to capture photos that feel like you.
For Katelyn and Alex, spending time together outdoors at Birds Hill Park was a great setting for that approach.
A beautiful location, some time to explore, and Apollo joining in for a few photos made for a wonderful engagement session.
Congratulations, Katelyn & Alex!
Katelyn and Alex, thank you for spending some time with us at Birds Hill Park and for bringing Apollo along!
We loved having the opportunity to capture your engagement photos, and we're so glad Apollo got to be part of the experience.
Congratulations on your engagement!
