Spring in the Skagit Valley, WA feels like a scene out of a love story. Soft light filters through the trees, tulip fields bloom in sweeping rows of color, and the whole landscape feels fresh and alive. For Rachel and Adam, it was the perfect season to document this sweet chapter before their wedding day.

We began their spring engagement session at Christianson’s Nursery, a place where every corner feels like a hidden garden. The glass greenhouses glowed in the afternoon sun, and gravel pathways led us past rows of potted blooms. Rachel’s lacy white dress blended beautifully with the camellia petals in bloom, while Adam’s sage green button down added a touch of classic, effortless style. As they strolled hand in hand, there was an ease between them that made every moment feel unposed and genuine, completely at ease together.

A Location Close to Their Hearts

After soaking in the beauty of the nursery, we made our way to nearby La Conner, WA, a charming waterfront town that holds a special place in their hearts. It is where they have shared many special dates together, wandering by the water, exploring little shops, and savoring slow afternoons.

They changed into a fresh look, perfect for the coastal setting, while the afternoon sun lit up the harbor. We strolled from the dock into town, the afternoon stretching out in soft, unhurried moments filled with loving glances, smiles, and quiet laughter.

Why Meaningful Locations Matter

Choosing locations that carry personal meaning always brings a unique depth to a session. For Rachel and Adam, Christianson’s Nursery offered natural beauty and seasonal color, while La Conner reflected their history and connection. Together, they created a visual story that was entirely their own, full of tenderness, laughter, and the anticipation of the life they are building together.
