There is something deeply romantic about an engagement session rooted in home. Especially when that home is surrounded by the rolling bluffs of La Crosse, Wisconsin. For Remy and August, this session felt like a love letter to the place where their story continues to unfold.

Their La Crosse engagement session took place in the heart of the Driftless Region. Because of this, the landscape played a meaningful role in their images. Quiet hills, open land, and soft October light created a timeless backdrop. Meanwhile, the golden glow of autumn wrapped gently around them as they moved together with ease.

What began as a chance meeting has grown into a love grounded in laughter and family. Over time, it has also become rooted in the land they are building their future on. In fact, it all started when their proposal itself took place on their own property. Rose petals, twinkling lights, and a heartfelt moment made the proposal feel intimate and personal. Most importantly, it felt completely true to them.

As they look ahead, their wedding plans feel just as intentional. They will celebrate their marriage at Mt. La Crosse next summer. Because of that, their engagement session felt like a natural beginning to what comes next. Photographing them was less about posing and more about observing. Their connection felt honest, calm, and unforced.

Ultimately, this La Crosse engagement session is a reminder of why place matters. When images are created where love already lives, they feel deeper and more enduring. Here’s to the beginning of forever for Remy and August. They are surrounded by the hills, memories, and hearts that shaped them.
