It all started at the apple orchard

Our journey began with a stroll through the enchanting apple orchards, where delicate blossoms adorned the trees like nature’s confetti. Starting the day on Brent’s parents’ property added an extra layer of intimacy to the session. The air was filled with the sweet scent of spring, and Marissa and Brent’s smiles illuminated the orchard as they explored hand in hand, lost in each other’s company.
