Castlewood State Park Missouri Engagement Photos | Dani + Mitch

Adventurous, fun-loving, silly, laid-back are 100% true when it comes to describing Dani and Mitch. I shot this awesome couples’ engagement photos at Castlewood State Park in Ballwin, Missouri in the middle of summer. They were totally cool with sloshing through a river in their sneakers, getting rained on when it wasn’t in the forecast, and wearing fleece shark onesies in 90 degree weather on top of that lovely midwest humidity. I adored their energy together and it was so evident that these two are truly each other’s best friend.

At Castlewood, we found a quiet part of the creek to shoot in and had the whole section of the park to ourselves on a Wednesday evening. In the middle of the session, it lightly rained for about five minutes, and these two simply embraced the random weather change and made the most of it, making the shots that much more in the moment and special. Take a look, you can see some rain speckled in the background of a few of their images! 

Dani and Mitch were celebrating more than one life event during this session. Not only did they recently get engaged (🍾) but also are weeks away from moving across the country to DC! Dani will be starting her masters in museum studies there; such an exciting new chapter in their lives! These two were such naturals on camera and their love was so fun to capture. Join me in wishing them the best of luck on this new chapter in their lives!
