There’s something magical about the days leading up to a solar eclipse, a windy romance for an engagement session. The anticipation adds a unique charm to everything, including photography sessions. That’s exactly what we experienced with Rob and Nina’s engagement session in Cherokee Village, AR. While they were in town from Chicago visiting family and preparing to view the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th, we decided to shoot their engagement photos.
Windy Romance, the beginning
The couple came prepared with two engagement outfits, ready to make the most of the beautiful backdrop the Village offers. We began the session with a bit of a challenge—a brisk wind threatening to throw our plans off course. Luckily, it calmed down about halfway through the session, giving us the perfect calm to capture memorable moments.
Cherokee Village offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere. As a result, it provides the ideal setting for Rob and Nina’s engagement photos. As we trekked to our chosen spot, there were many laughs and giggles throughout this session. I enjoyed going through the images when I got home to see just how big the smiles were and the joy in these photos. Going through the pictures, I couldn’t help but smile to see the genuine happiness captured in each shot. These moments of pure joy are what make photography so rewarding.
This session was extra special for another reason—my husband went with me to this shoot to get in some more practice before he was enlisted by me to work on a couple of weddings in the future. And he does such a great job! It was great to see him in action, honing his skills with our dear, engaged couple.
Rob and Nina’s love story is one for the books. They met at work and saw each other daily, but it took time for their relationship to get more serious and head toward the engagement mark. Anyone who saw them together could tell that their bond was always heading toward this beautiful moment of engagement.
Capturing Rob and Nina’s engagement was a delightful experience, filled with laughter, love, and the natural beauty of Cherokee Village. As a photographer, there’s nothing more rewarding than being part of such significant moments in people’s lives. Here’s to Rob and Nina and to all the beautiful moments ahead.
