The crisp fall air and the gentle rustling of leaves set the tone, while the vibrant gold, red, and orange hues of the season turned the park into a breathtaking backdrop.

Forest Park is one of the best places for memorable engagement session. The St Loius Forest Park is absolutely gorgeous and offers multiple days of activities especially during Autumn. For our featured couple, Fall’s vibrant hues makes their engagement photos truly magical. When we arrived at the amphitheater, we saw tons of photographers capturing shots of the beautiful orange-leaved trees out front—exactly what we had in mind too!
After dodging and moving out of other photographers’ photos, we found a spot that was perfect for our needs. The lovely couple were dressed in dark green and blue outfits, stood out stunningly against the fiery tones. Their colors complementing the scene in a way that felt almost cinematic. We seized the moment, capturing as many photos as possible while the sunlight danced through the vibrant leaves. The couple looked absolutely perfect against the stunning backdrop. We knew this picturesque setting wouldn’t last once we moved, so we made the most of every second, ensuring we preserved its beauty in our shots.

We then moved over to the building and took some gorgeous photos with the white walls, rails and arches there. I loved how the couple stands close for their autumn engagement photos, their emotions taking center stage. Every detail of Forest Park’s unique structure worked in harmony to create a gallery-worthy collection of the engaged couple’s portraits.
And it didn’t stop there! Natalie and Sam walk hand-in-hand along the rails and lean casually for relaxed, intimate poses. Throughout the shoot, the couple’s natural ease and chemistry made every pose effortless. Even if they didn’t realize it, they were naturals in front of the camera.
