When the sun is golden, the flowers are in full bloom, and love is in the air, magic happens. That was exactly the case for Sofia and Oleksandr’s engagement session at Pt. Defiance Park. With their September wedding at Cedar Springs on the horizon, this session was the perfect way to celebrate their love story in a setting that felt like something out of a dream.
We started in the park’s lush gardens, where vibrant colors and soft, golden light made for the most romantic backdrop. Strolling through winding pathways, Sofia and Oleksandr shared sweet moments—laughter between the roses, quiet embraces beneath arching trees, and stolen glances that spoke volumes. The way they naturally connected with each other made every frame feel effortless and full of joy.
As the sun began to lower, we made our way to the beach, where the water shimmered under the evening light. The waves gently rolled in as they popped open a bottle of champagne, clinking glasses in celebration of this exciting new chapter. With their toes in the sand and the sunset painting the sky in soft pastels, it was the perfect ending to a breathtaking session.

Sofia and Oleksandr’s engagement shoot was a beautiful glimpse into the love they share, and I can’t wait to capture their wedding day this September at Cedar Springs.

Congratulations, Sofia and Oleksandr—I’m so excited for what’s ahead!
