Real Engagement Photography — Seattle & Beyond

September 7, 2024

Discovery Park in the fall is truly breathtaking, making it an ideal location for an engagement session. Each season brings its own charm, but the tall golden grasses and crisp breeze of autumn add a unique touch to the park. In spring and summer, Discovery Park bursts with vibrant greenery and wildflowers, while the beach remains calm. However, the fall season transforms the landscape into a romantic, golden haven.

For this session, we began at the top of the park, surrounded by the stunning autumn foliage. The red holly bushes and tall grasses created the perfect backdrop, highlighting the couple’s joyful energy as they walked hand in hand through the fields. We later moved down to the beach, where the chilly wind added a cozy element to their photos. Wrapped in each other’s arms, the couple danced along the shore, their love shining through despite the cold.

If you’re considering a fall engagement session, Discovery Park provides a stunning variety of locations and natural beauty, creating unforgettable photos.

Preparing for an Engagement Session in the Fall

  1. Book Early
    Fall is one of the busiest seasons for Washington photographers, especially in October. To secure your spot, book 6-8 months in advance for peak foliage. If you’re booking last minute, it’s still worth reaching out. Just remember, October dates are highly requested. If October isn’t available, consider early November for beautiful fall colors.
  2. Choose the Right Wardrobe
    While fall tones like burnt oranges and deep reds look great, they can distract in photos. Lighter, neutral colors like beiges, creams, or grays help you stand out in your engagement photos. These tones complement the landscape without overpowering it. For deeper colors, choose cooler tones like navy or forest green. These will harmonize with the autumn backdrop rather than blend in.
  3. Prepare for Unpredictable Weather
    Washington’s fall weather is unpredictable, so it’s important to prepare for anything when planning your fall engagement session. Foliage usually peaks around mid-October, though timing varies yearly. Early October sessions often feature greens and oranges. Later sessions show deeper reds, yellows, and browns. Wind and rain may affect your shoot, but photographers know how to find great light. Trust your photographer to capture stunning images regardless of the weather.
