With only a small window of time for the blossoms Lauren and Nathan chose this location! We met with the couple and had an amazing time. We strolled through the trees and captured amazing photos. It did not matter that it was an overcast day. The cherry blossoms stole the show. Lauren and Nathan chose this location for the beauty. As a result we love how their photos came out! Lauren looked beautiful in her white cotton dress. Their outfits were perfect for the session.

We took many photos among the trees. Stopping to capture perfect moments. The couple even brought a blanket to be able to sit and enjoy. This allowed us to capture some very relaxed moments. The couple decided to quickly change outfits to change the look of photos. We also walked a bit further and captured different photos. The location not far from the cherry blossoms offered a more woodsy feel. This also made for beautiful photo’s of the couple.
