Christmas Tree Farm Engagement Inspiration – Vanessa + Kyle

Ahhhh the Holidays. I don’t know about you but it’s been frying my brain this year. I can’t wrap my head around so much stuff going on at once but at the same time I am digging the weather, the gift giving, the celebrating and the food! Christmas is only two days away and I am excited to be able to spend it with the ones I love. And that’s exactly why I rushed to get this session on my blog! Vanessa and Kyle were a fantastic couple to work with and I am thrilled that they wanted to work with me. We worked together on developing the idea of a tree farm engagement session because it seemed like a really fun location to shoot in and I wanted to work around an activity (such as choosing a fresh Christmas tree and decorating it while in the field).

Vanessa is a Kitsap expatriate like myself, so we share many mutual friends and acquaintances. I met Kyle over the summer while working a photo booth at a friend’s wedding. She’s a barista. He’s an actor. We chose to set our sights on a tree farm in Seabeck, WA. We wanted to decorate a tree (and buy a fresh wreath!) and also have some more opportunities to explore the Hood Canal area.

I really enjoyed shooting this session. I love Vanessa’s eclectic style and Kyle’s sense of humor and their playfulness really added a lot to the shoot. And best of all these two are so genuine, their interactions with each other are so real and down to earth. One of my favorite qualities in a person or a couple.

Enjoy!
