Coxhall Gardens Fall Engagement Portraits in Carmel Indiana
Heather + Brooks
I’m thrilled to share a glimpse into a beautiful engagement session I had recently with a wonderful couple at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, Indiana. As the sun dipped toward the horizon, the golden hour cast a warm, ethereal glow over the landscape, perfectly framing the love these two share.
From the moment we began the shoot, it was clear that their connection was something special. The serene backdrop of Coxhall Gardens—with its lush greenery and elegant architecture—added an enchanting touch to their love story.
A Perfect Setting: Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, Indiana
Coxhall Gardens is a hidden gem, especially in the fall. The vibrant autumn leaves painted the scene with rich hues of gold, orange, and red, creating a stunning canvas for our session. The couple embraced amid the beauty of nature, and I was lucky enough to snap those fleeting moments of joy.
The Magic of Golden Hour
There’s something undeniably magical about the golden hour—the soft, diffused light enhances every shot, bringing out the warmth in their smiles and the depth of their affection. As we walked through the gardens, we found the perfect spots to capture their chemistry, from playful candid moments to more intimate poses. Each click of the shutter told a story of their love and excitement for the journey ahead.
Looking Ahead to their Wedding
I’m beyond excited to photograph their upcoming fall wedding at Finley Creek Vineyards in Zionsville, Indiana! After spending this time together, I have no doubt their big day will be filled with the same warmth and joy we captured during the engagement session. I can already envision the stunning backdrop of fall hues, and I can’t wait to see how their love story continues to unfold.
