70's Style Engagement Session

Olivia and Matt brought an incredible energy to their engagement session, and I knew right from the start that this was going to be something truly rad. When we first spoke, they came in with a vision —they wanted to channel a vintage 70s smoke session style vibe. Think record players, warm earthy tones, and the laid-back, free-spirited aesthetic that defined the era. I was instantly hooked.

Lucky for us, one of my dear friends in town had the perfect house for this throwback vision. With its retro decor, rich wood accents, and just the right touch of nostalgia, it felt like stepping straight into a time capsule. We got to work setting up a scene inspired by vinyl records, vintage accessories, and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. But what made this session truly magical were the little touches that were uniquely them—personal mementos and details that told their story in the coolest way possible.

Olivia and Matt’s chemistry was undeniable. They laughed, they danced, and they fully embraced the vibe, effortlessly blending vintage style with modern romance. We played around with a mix of posed moments and candid shots that captured their playful energy and deep connection. I loved watching them interact so naturally, like they were the only two people in the world.

Just when it couldn’t get any better, we threw in a vintage 70s van, ready to “hit the road” toward their next big adventure—marriage. I mean, how perfect is that? It was the ideal backdrop to wrap up the session, symbolizing not only their love for retro style but also the journey they’re about to embark on together. It was playful, a little wild, and undeniably them.

This session was a reminder of how powerful it is to fully embrace what makes you different. Olivia and Matt didn’t just want engagement photos—they wanted a story, an experience, a reflection of who they are as a couple. And when you bring that level of authenticity and creativity to a session, the results are pure magic.
