Engagement Session at Bellevue Botanical Garden"},"content":{"rendered":"<h1>Catherine and Steven&#8217;s Engagement Session at the Botanical Garden<\/h1>\n<p>Once again I lucked out with the weather on this session, with a pretty much perfect August afternoon.\u00a0 Catherine and Steven are getting married in just a few weeks, and we had been trying to find a good time for much of the summer to do an engagement photo session.\u00a0 At last things lined up that we were able to finally meet and take some photos together.<\/p>\n<p>After discussing possible locations for the photo session, Steven and Catherine thought the <a href=\"https:\/\/bellevuebotanical.org\/\">Bellevue Botanical Gardens<\/a> looked like a great possibility.\u00a0 We met at the Garden in the late afternoon, just as the sun was finally starting to descend.\u00a0 The late afternoon lighting was a bit harsh from a photographic standpoint, but it did a wonderful jor of highlighting all the colorful flowers and plants in the Garden.<\/p>\n<p>I have been to this location many times, and always enjoy taking &#8220;newbies&#8221; who are visiting the Garden for the first time on a tour of as much of the park as possible.\u00a0 Which is actually not very easy since it is a substantial park with a lot of great things to see.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to let you see a selection of photos from our session rather than talking about it.\u00a0 I think the photos tell the story beter than I could anyway.\u00a0 I hope you like the photos, and please <a
