Kurt and Katie are book lovers and their wedding next June is taking on a literary theme. It was only appropriate that we bring a little bit of Harry Potter to the mix during our summer engagement session at Deep River County Park. It was a great way to show off their theme and have some wonderful greenery in the shots as well.

Deep River County Park is a mainstay for all kinds of photography sessions and I always try to come up with something different whenever I photograph there, While known for it's greenery, there's some great brick and texture near the building as well. We took advantage of this on the sunny side of the building as well as the shaded entrance.

I loved the rustic look of the old wagon wheel on the property so i simply let Katie and Kurt be themselves and we took a number of candid photos there as well as a stroll across the grounds of the old baseball field.

At the end of their engagement session, Kurt and Katie told me how much fun they had and this is always great to hear. I too had a lot of fun and love to photograph engagement sessions. It's a great way to get to know my wedding clients as well as get them used to being photographed. Come next June when Kurt and Katie will be married, they will be old pros in front of the camera!! :)
