A Surprise Maine Woods Engagement at Pleasant Hill Preserve

There's nothing more magical than an engagement session that feels less like a photoshoot and more like a hike with a good friend. As a Maine engagement photographer, I've found few places that offer that perfect blend of natural beauty and intimacy quite like Pleasant Hill Preserve in Scarborough. And what's even better? When the engagement is a complete surprise!

I quietly hid among the trees, waiting for the perfect moment. He led his now-fiancée down the trail, and that’s when the magic happened. The moment he dropped to one knee, the quiet woods filled with pure, unfiltered emotion. I captured that incredible surprise candidly, so every tearful smile and happy embrace was perfectly preserved.

After the initial excitement, we took the opportunity to capture some classic couples portraits in the stunning Maine woods engagement setting. The contrast of candid moments followed by timeless, posed photos truly gives you the best of both worlds.

If you’re looking for a Scarborough photographer who specializes in capturing honest, artistic moments, I would love to connect with you. An engagement session is a chance to relax, have fun, and create beautiful, lasting memories before your big day.
