Brandon & Abby’s Benton Falls Engagement Session | Tennessee Photographer

A Peaceful Start by the Pond

There’s just something about Benton Falls that never gets old—especially when you’ve got a couple like Brandon and Abby who are down for a little adventure, a lot of laughter, and soaking up golden hour with the best kind of view.

We kicked off their engagement session near the peaceful pond, where the trees filtered the soft afternoon light and everything felt calm and quiet. Brandon and Abby started out in relaxed, casual outfits that perfectly matched the laid-back vibe of the forest and water. Their energy was so effortless and joyful—it made capturing those real, in-between moments a total dream.

Outfit Change for Golden Hour

Before we drove out to the overlook, Brandon and Abby did a quick outfit change into something a little more dressed up—just the right amount of elevated, without losing their personality. This shift gave the second half of their session a more romantic, polished feel while still keeping things natural and true to them.

Chasing Sunset at the Overlook

From there, we made our way up to one of Benton Falls’ scenic overlooks—and wow, Tennessee really showed off. The sky lit up in dreamy tones of peach, pink, and gold. It was one of those sunsets you wish you could bottle up and keep forever.

Brandon and Abby leaned into the moment, soaking it all in while I snapped away. With their dressed-up look, the sweeping views, and that golden light, it was nothing short of magic.
