Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a heartwarming engagement session at West Union Gardens, a charming family farm nestled near Hillsboro, Oregon. This picturesque spot, renowned for its vibrant sunflower season, provided the perfect backdrop for celebrating a couple’s love story.

The couple, who got engaged just a month ago on a romantic weekend getaway to Astoria Beach, chose West Union Gardens for their engagement photos as a tribute to their shared passion for gardening. They cultivate their own vegetables and fruit at home, so it was only fitting that they wanted their special moment captured among the lush fields and blooming flowers they cherish.

As we strolled through the farm, the couple’s affection for each other was as evident as their joy in being surrounded by the beauty of their favorite hobby. From the playful picking of berries to the serene poses among rows of vibrant veggies, each frame captured their genuine connection and the serene charm of the farm.

The farm’s bounty of flowers and produce added a colorful, personal touch to the photos, reflecting their love for nature and the life they’re building together. West Union Gardens, with its blend of rustic elegance and heartfelt simplicity, offered the ideal setting for this beautiful chapter in their lives.

For anyone seeking a unique and meaningful engagement photo venue, West Union Gardens provides a perfect blend of natural beauty and personal significance, making each moment captured truly special.
