Tony & Lucy - Chamna Natural Preserve Tri Cities Engagement Session

Tony & Lucy are near and dear to my heart! They are from my home town & I have known Lucy since she was little. We grew up in the same church congregation, though she’s a bit younger than I am. I was able to take her senior photos a couple years ago and now she’s getting married! Her & Tony are high school sweethearts and will be tying the knot in front of their family & friends in their home town of Royal City, and then being sealed in the Columbia River Temple in Richland later this summer, & I can’t wait to be a part of it!

We met up one evening this spring at Chamna Natural Preserve in West Richland, Washington for their engagement session. I love this location because there is such a variety of colors & textures! One part of the preserve is lush with trees and green grasses, while another part is desert with sagebrush and sand. So many options & possibilities! Take a look & see what I mean!

I also have to commend them on their outfit choices! For engagement sessions, I recommend couples wear a casual outfit, as well as a bit nicer or formal of an outfit. Th combination of Lucy’s orange blouse with Tony black & white flannel complimented each other perfectly, then Lucy’s flowy dress with the blue stripes complimented with Tony’s blue plaid shirt worked perfectly! I love when a beautiful flowy dress is chosen because it is so fun to play with and add such a pretty texture & element to your photos. And if you’re looking for what to wear to your engagement photos, I have a whole Pinterest board thatI am constantly adding to, full of engagement photos outfit ideas, so check it out!
