no longer freezing in the sunshine, but you could see lots of ice that had formed around the sides of the Falls that showed no signs of melting. \u00a0Because the weather was so nice, there were a LOT of other people there to visit the Falls, making it rather difficult to get many photos in the best locations without photo-bombers (unintentional or not) showing up in the background. \u00a0We did our best and got a few good shots near the falls and in the park nearby, but\u00a0not nearly as many photos as I hoped for. \u00a0So I suggested that we move to another of my favorite photo spots in nearby North Bend, where we would be able to get photos without a lot of other people to deal with.<\/p>\n<h2>Second photo location &#8211; River and Trestle in North Bend<\/h2>\n<p>I love this spot for photos, and frequently take couples here either for engagement photos or even wedding photos if they are getting married somewhere near North Bend. \u00a0As you will see in the photos below, it is located in the woods and features a train trestle that crosses the Snoqualmie River. \u00a0I love train tracks for photos, and a trestle is\u00a0even better! \u00a0This section of track has not been used for years, so there are no worries of dodging an unexpected train.<\/p>\n<p>The river was so smooth that it acted like a mirror, with wonderful reflections of the trees and sky. \u00a0We spent another half hour or so walking the woods and making use of the trestle and train tracks for photos. \u00a0We ended up with a nice selection of photos, and you can see some of them below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SK-engagement-021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9869 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SK-engagement-021.jpg\" alt=\"Romantic engagement photo of couple with Snoqualmie Falls in the background\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SK-engagement-021.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SK-engagement-021-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SK-engagement-021-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SK-engagement-035.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9870 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SK-engagement-035.jpg\" alt=\"Close up Seattle engagement photo of couple nose to nose in &quot;Eskimo Kiss&quot;
