Melissa & Jesse’s Fall Engagement Session at the Fort Edmonton Footbridge

Fall usually only lasts for a few weeks here in Edmonton and this year it was cut even shorter by an unexpected dump of snow in early October. The cold weather resulted in a few family sessions and engagement sessions being postponed in the hopes of a return to warmer temperatures. That finally came towards the end of October but unfortunately, the early snowfall took out all of the beautiful leaves but that didn’t stop us from having a great fall engagement session with Melissa, Jesse, & their fur-baby Radar.

Melissa & Jesse met online and one of their first dates was at the Fort Edmonton Footbridge so that was where they wanted to do their engagement photos. They brought along their adorable fur-baby Radar who also got in on some of the photo action. We love it when our couples choose to incorporate various props in their session that tell a story and have significant meaning to their relationship. In the case of Melissa & Jesse, their shoot included a beautiful quilt that Melissa’s mom had made along with jersey’s from their favourite baseball team – the Dodgers who unfortunately came close but lost to the Chicago Cubs in the World Series.

Enjoy this sneak peek from their fall engagement session and stay tuned to the blog for photographs from their wedding taking place next August at the Art Gallery of Alberta!
