Warawa Engagement Session at Peace Hills Park // Engagement Photos
Their Story!
Samantha & Wyatt met on a running track! Being medical professionals and runners, they had a lot in common from the very beginning. Samantha and Wyatt also shared a running coach, who saw that they would make a great couple and got them in touch with each other. The rest, as they say, is history!
I photographed the couple’s engagement session at Peace Hills Park in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, as this was where they had met for the first time.
Samantha is a super planner who likes planning things out in advance, whereas Wyatt enjoys spontaneous happenings. These two lovebirds were travelling to France for a trip. Samantha anticipated that the proposal was going to happen in Paris since her mother had tipped her off (romantic, right?!).
Well, it didn’t. Instead, Wyatt had a different idea. He planned the proposal so it would be a complete secret and come as a surprise. They were both visiting a castle when Wyatt went down on one knee and proposed. After the initial surprise, there was a resounding yes from her, followed by lots of tears and cheers from other tourists in the castle!

The couple chose this location because of its emotional significance to them. They had originally met in the park and had taken many a run together through the park as well. This meant they were able to show me some of the cooler hidden spots within Peace Hills Park, which made for some excellent shots during their engagement session.
The park is located near Montgomery Glen Golf Course in Wetaskiwin and is a favourite spot for locals, with its numerous trails and scenic rest spots. We did the engagement session in late September, which meant we were there for the perfect fall colours.
The yellows and greens combined with the warm autumn sunlight made a gorgeous natural background for their engagement photos. The familiar setting also helped make the session feel personal and connected to their story.
I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Samantha & Wyatt’s engagement photos, and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.
