Engagement Photos at Priest Lake

We began the session at a public beach, capturing images against the backdrop of Priest Lake's sparkling waters. We started out just the two of them, but after a bit, they brought out their sweet girl Shilo to join in on the fun!

Camper Van Engagement Photos

For Jane + Brian spending time in their camper van is one of their favorite ways to unwind and explore. They wanted their engagement photos to reflect their love of exploring, adventure, and the cozy moments they share in their van as they explore new places together. So, we made sure to capture some cozy, fun shots with their van. Their van wasn’t just a prop for the session; it was a true reflection of their lifestyle. It’s their home on wheels, the place they’ve shared many memories, whether it’s been parked by a quiet lakeside or in the middle of a forest trail.

Mountain Biking Engagement Photos

What’s a North Idaho engagement session without a little adventure? For Jane + Brian, mountain biking is one of their biggest passions. They love exploring the forested trails around Priest Lake, and it was important for them to include this hobby in their engagement photos. So, we spent part of the session capturing them riding together along the scenic trails — a perfect way to show their love for each other and the great outdoors. Dirt roads and beautiful vistas around Priest Lake made for the perfect setting for mountain biking photos. The dynamic movement of mountain biking brought an extra layer of excitement to their engagement photos, too!
