Romantic Engagement Session at Saint-Gaudens National Park | Nicole & Mike

There’s something truly magical about photographing couples who are not only wildly in love—but also know how to have fun every step of the way! Nicole and Mike’s engagement session was just that kind of experience. ✨

They flew in on their own plane (yes, really!) and landed at Granite Air Center just over the Vermont border in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. The amazing team at Granite Aviation was so welcoming—it made for the perfect start to our adventure.

From there, we headed to the breathtaking Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park, a hidden gem full of woodland trails, riverside serenity, flower fields, and sweeping views. We spent a blissful 90 minutes exploring the park, laughing, wandering through golden light, and capturing genuine moments that perfectly reflect Nicole and Mike’s joyful connection.

These two were pure magic together—easygoing, affectionate, and so clearly in love. Whether walking hand-in-hand beneath leafy trees or twirling in a sea of flowers, they were a dream to photograph. 🌿💍🌸

I absolutely cannot wait to photograph their wedding next July at The Mountain Top Resort in Chittenden, Vermont—one of our all-time favorite wedding venues! With their energy, love, and vision, I already know it’s going to be an unforgettable celebration.

If you're looking for an elegant, relaxed, and nature-inspired location for your engagement session in New Hampshire or Vermont, Saint-Gaudens is a must-see spot—especially for adventurous couples who want to blend art, history, and nature in one experience.
