Whenever a couple tries to find a shooting location for their engagement session, I always try to find a nuance location that will present me with new challenges. Lana and John mentioned that they would love to go to a location where Mt. Rainier is in the background. Upon some simple searches, it a remote town called Tehaleh that is 1.5 hours south of Seattle popped up on the list. However, it feels very limited in terms of the variety of sceneries we can work with. After almost settling for Gold Creek Pond, an instagram post introduced me to Van Lierop Park all of a sudden and I was in love! It's got exactly what the couple was asking for with Mt. Rainier in the background an lots of greenery and purple scene. I'll certainly take my future couples to this location again when the flowers are in full blossom in July.
