Justin + Inessa’s Forest Park Engagement Session | Sunset Photos at Art Hill, St. Louis


Justin and Inessa’s engagement session at Forest Park was one of those golden-hour evenings where we stayed out too late, freezing by the end. We started at the top of Art Hill, surrounded by fall color and that gorgeous soft sunset light, and kept shooting until the sun dipped below the trees. Even though the temps dropped fast, these two were total troopers—and the glow in their photos made it so worth it. We ended the session down by the pond and fountains at the bottom of Art Hill, where they shared a quiet moment and even practiced a bit of their first dance. The whole evening felt like a sweet preview of the joy they brought to their wedding day.
