Engagement Photography Session at Wildcliff Weddings & Events in Missouri
I was so excited to finally shoot at the Wildcliff wedding venue in Blackwater, MO. While this couple will be getting married at The Atrium in Columbia, Missouri, they wanted a dark, moody, and romantic vibe for their engagement photos. Don’t have to ask me twice!
Going into our session we considered many photography locations in Columbia, but ultimately decided to contact Wildcliff Weddings & Events and book the property for their engagement photos. We are all VERY glad we took the time to make the short drive from Columbia, Missouri to Blackwater.
The whole evening was an absolute adventure. We made our way over to Wildcliff’s floating dock, and snapped some photos on the way to the cave.
We pulled ourselves to the cave, climbed up the ladder, and took some photos inside of the cave as well.
Once we returned to the shore, we took advantage of Wildcliff’s sandy river beach. It offered such a nostalgic vibe. The reflections in the water offered a great compositional component as well.
We finished off the shoot with a couple of photos inside of the bridal suite.
The sun had set and we wanted to avoid overstaying our welcome more than we already accidentally had. We grabbed an artsy ring shot then went on our merry way!
WHAT a blast. I would love to lean more into these date-like engagement photography sessions in the future. The opportunity to explore beautiful places with beautiful souls is one that I will be forever be grateful for. If you are interested in booking a couples or engagement photography session that is full of adventure, let me know! I would be happy to appreciate and document the world with you <3
