Reilly & Matt | Medicine Bow, Wyoming Engagement Session
They met in high school. Two souls wandering the halls of the Casper, Wy campus, who happened to slip into each other’s paths. He saw her from a distance, and perhaps it was her smile, glow, or beautiful soul that drew him into Reilly’s gravitational pull. Because she has that. A gravitational pull. The ability to lure people into her kindness and joy. It was only momentary because summer break was right around the corner and the two parted ways. ..
The next fall, in the cool crisp autumn air, they crossed paths again and it was like it was meant to be. Matt and Reilly hit it off immediately and they bonded over their love of golf. And that was that. They fell in love.
The pair wandered from Casper to Laramie Wyoming to build their lives together attending the University of Wyoming. After A long Laramie winter and a super sweet proposal, that’s where I come in. For their engagement session we headed to Tie City trailhead located in the beautiful Medicine Bow National Forest. We played in the snow and listened to it fall, in this beautiful winter wonderland.
I truly love these images as they showcase the beautiful Wyoming landscape parallel to the love and connection these two share. I’m so honored that I got to be a part of their beautiful love story!
Reilly and Matt met in their hometown of Casper, WY (think high school sweethearts) and moved to Laramie for school.
We started their engagement session near the beginning of the Tie City Trailhead just off Happy Jack Road, near Laramie Wyoming.
My favorite part about being a wedding photographer in Wyoming is the wide range of different scenery available. One minute you’re in an aspen forest in the Snowy Range Mountains, and the next you’re in a red rock desert near Vedauwoo. Not to mention the charming downtown locations and plains in between!
Just look at all of this snow!! When we first arrived at the trailhead in the Medicine Bow National Forest, the first thing i did was lodge my truck right into a huge snow drift. Woe is me…. After only a few minutes of oogling and engine revving, I got unstuck. WHEW. What a perfect introduction for these two to my awkward and accident prone personality.
Nothing like a cozy warming hut to get warm. As soon as I saw those steamy windows I knew I needed a portrait from outside. Pictured: steamy romance, Not pictured: the family with small children sitting just behind Reilly & Matt! Oh, how I love these awkward moments!
This cutie couple has the most adorable proposal story that involves snow-shoeing on remote mountains, surprise scavenger hunts, ANNNDDD some unplanned craziness (involving getting a wee bit lost) too.
Nothing sweeter than these two. <3
This gorgeous ring photographed perfectly in the soft light of the snowstorm and placed atop the pile of firewood.
Have you ever listened to the snow fall? Just walked in silence while the big fluffy flakes slowly make all other noise disappear but the soft crunch beneath your feet. Magic.
I just LOVE the soft romantic focus on Reilly & Matt created by placing my focus point on the falling snow in front of them…. and boy, oh boy, was it falling!
When they sent me their ideas for the session I couldn’t believe my luck to have such fun and adventurous clients behind my camera lens. This vintage sled was Matt’s as a kid and the two joke with each other about whether its safe or ‘sketchy’. I think I’ll side with Reilly on this one!
Their session was spent in a blissful state of laughter and joy…and kissing. Matt and Reilly are two of the most loving, kind and genuine people and their love is simply a manifestation for their care of others.
These are simply amazing. I love, love snow shoots. I wish more people were willing to get out in the snow here in Ohio. Just beautiful. Wyoming is lucky to have such an amazing wedding photographer.
Medicine Bow in Wyoming is just stunning right now for an engagement session! How perfect was your couple’s snowy session snuggled up together. I am loving the props you introduced as well from their sweet little snowy picnic with the red mugs to that adorably cute sled.
Oh, my! These are gorgeous! I love the snow and their outfit choices pop perfectly in that white! This engaged couple is gorgeous too. I can’t wait to see their wedding portraits!
these engagement portraits are simply amazing. i am so glad he pulled her on the sled in the snow. the steamy window reflection is my most favorite, but her face close up holding onto his arm, dreamy.
These are so great! I just love these snowy engagement photos. That shot in the cabin window is to die for, the couple must be so happy! We haven’t had any snow this year, if only it were like Wyoming. So looking forward to seeing the wedding photography!
I love snowy engagement photos. Everything looks so crisp, and the couples are always all cuddled up and its so cute! Not to mention the Wyoming country side covered in fresh snow is magical! I’m sure when you photograph their Wyoming wedding it will be just- if not more- magical.
What a fun engagement session! It’s so cute how he pulled her on the sled. The perspective of that shot it so creative! I love how it makes you feel like you’re *right there*. Looking forward to seeing images from their Wyoming wedding!
What a fun winter engagement session at Medicine Bow National Forest! I love the warming hut photo and the sled photos – so cute! The pop of the red blanket against the white snow is so lovely too and Reilly and Matt look so sweet all cuddled up together. I definitely have to add this forest to my travel list; the Wyoming landscape really is gorgeous. I’m so glad they picked you as their wedding photographer!
I love this engagement session in the Wyoming snow. Any couple looking for a Wyoming Wedding photographer with an engagement session would be sold after seeing Reilly & Matt’s Wyoming snow engagement session.
I am so jealous of all the snow! Medicine Bow National Forest was a perfect choice for their engagement portraits. I love the inclusion of the vintage sled, they look like they had a great time playing in the snow! These two chose a wonderful Wyoming wedding photographer for their big day!
