Some photoshoots feel extra special, and Harley & Megan’s pre-wedding session was exactly that.


With just a few weeks to go before their big day, they chose to celebrate this exciting time with an evening pre-wedding shoot in the very field that would soon become their wedding reception. Surrounded by long grass, a few hay bales, and the most beautiful golden light, it was the perfect setting for family photos they’ll treasure forever.

Joining them were their two gorgeous girls, Molly and Lilly, who brought so much joy and energy to the session. Like mos children, they took a little while to warm up but we were soon best friends leading to lots of laughter, cuddles, and plenty of running through the fields – the kind of carefree childhood moments that make photos feel so timeless.

As the sun dipped lower, the golden hour light wrapped around the family, creating a soft, warm glow. Megan and Harley took a few moments just for themselves too, walking hand-in-hand through the long grass, while the girls played nearby. Those quiet, romantic portraits felt even more meaningful knowing that just a short time later, this very spot would be filled with friends and family celebrating their marriage.

The bales in the field made the perfect spot for some fun, relaxed shots – Molly and Lilly climbing up and giggling, while Megan and Harley looked on with so much love and pride. It was a beautiful balance of family moments and couple portraits, all tied together by the natural countryside backdrop.

This session wasn’t just about taking photos – it was about capturing a chapter of their story. The excitement before the wedding, the love they share as a couple, and the joy of life with their two girls. By the time the wedding arrives, the field will be transformed into a celebration space, but these images will always remind them of this golden evening, just the four of them, in the calm before the big day.
