When it came to choosing a spot for their e-session, Alanna and Sean weren’t afraid of a little adventure. In fact, since they love the outdoors they were excited when their photographer Shannon Voss Photography recommended a flirty waterfall engagement session at Machine Falls. The pair posed on the cliffs and splashed their feet in the water before taking more photos amongst the leafy scenery of the setting. Everything about the shoot was so natural that you would never even know know they were camera shy. If you’re on the quest for a romantic spot for your pre-wedding photos, take notes on this waterfall engagement session!
