Ava + Reid’s Sunrise Engagement Session at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve

Ava and Reid’s engagement session at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano was nothing short of enchanting. With their upcoming wedding set to embrace a wildflower and garden theme, it was only fitting that their engagement photos captured the same natural beauty and organic simplicity. We met at sunrise to take advantage of the soft morning light and to beat the Texas heat, resulting in some truly stunning images that reflect their love story.

Arbor Hills is a photographer’s dream, especially during the summer months when everything is lush and green. The preserve’s diverse landscapes—from open fields to wooded trails—provided the perfect backdrop for Ava and Reid’s engagement session. The early morning light added a soft, golden glow that complemented the couple’s natural, effortless style.

Ava and Reid are high school sweethearts who have grown together through many seasons of life. Their connection is evident in every glance and smile they shared during our session. They’re planning a wedding at The French Farmhouse next year, and they wanted their engagement photos to echo the simple, organic design they envision for their big day. The wildflower-inspired theme was the perfect match for the serene and natural setting of Arbor Hills.

The August sunrise gave us the most beautiful light to work with, casting a dreamy ambiance over the entire session. Ava and Reid were a joy to photograph, moving effortlessly through the fields and along the trails. Their wardrobe choices were on point—simple, light colors that blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The combination of their chemistry, the stunning location, and the perfect light made for some unforgettable images.

Ava and Reid’s engagement session at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve was a perfect reflection of their love and the vision for their upcoming wedding. The natural beauty of the location, combined with the couple’s genuine connection, made this session truly special. I can’t wait to capture their wedding day at The French Farmhouse next year!
