Love is an incredible adventure, and for Kristin and Nico, their story is about to reach an exciting chapter as they prepare for their wedding in April 2024. But before the big day arrives, the couple wanted to highlight a tender moment in their love story through an engagement session at the stunning Silverdale Rotary Gateway Park. And to make the session even sweeter, they brought along their two adorable dogs, who are so much a part of their love and life together.
Capturing Kristin and Nico’s engagement session as their Seattle wedding photographer was a joy from start to finish. Their connection, the charm of the location, and the presence of their playful pups came together to create photos they’ll treasure forever.
A Picture-Perfect Setting
Silverdale Rotary Gateway Park was the ideal setting for Kristin and Nico’s engagement photos. With its lush greenery, vibrant blooms, and serene walking paths, the park offered countless opportunities to capture the love and joy they share. The natural beauty of the surroundings perfectly mirrored Kristin and Nico’s deep appreciation for the outdoors, creating photos filled with romance and tranquility.
From shaded nooks to bursts of colorful wildflowers, each corner of the park provided a new backdrop for timeless shots. It’s no wonder Silverdale Rotary Gateway Park has become such a favorite location for couples looking to celebrate their love.
Bringing the Whole Family
Kristin and Nico’s engagement session wouldn’t have been complete without their beloved dogs. These two furry friends are more than pets; they’re family. It was clear from the start how much joy their pups bring into their lives, and incorporating them into the session made these photos all the more personal and meaningful.
The pups’ playful energy, wagging tails, and puppy kisses added a layer of authenticity and happiness to every frame. Whether running around in the sunlight or nestled close as Kristin and Nico shared a quiet moment, these charming companions stole the show.
Capturing Love in Every Moment
Some of the most special parts of the session were the candid, everyday moments Kristin and Nico shared with their dogs. From playful games of fetch to heartwarming cuddles, these interactions reflected the genuine love and laughter that define their relationship.
The photos captured during this session tell a story of a family filled with joy, companionship, and a shared appreciation for life’s simplest yet most meaningful moments. It was easy to see the connection Kristin and Nico share, not only as a couple but also as partners in creating a life that will be full of happiness and adventure.
Looking Ahead
This engagement session feels like the perfect prelude to Kristin and Nico’s upcoming wedding. The love, laughter, and connection they exude offer a beautiful preview of the relationship they’ll continue to build after they say “I do.” Their pups, naturally, will be a big part of that story—including, I hope, some special moments on the wedding day itself!
Being their Seattle wedding photographer was such a privilege—not just because of the chance to capture their love story, but because of the joy and thoughtfulness they brought into each moment of their session.
