Golden Hour Summer Engagement Photos at Willow River State Park // Reed & Maranda

6/25/2020

High school sweethearts? Yes, please! Meet Reed & Maranda, two high school sweethearts who chose to adventure for their engagement photo session at Willow River State Park in Hudson, Wisconsin – a flashback to many walks among their high school years as well as a nod to the same place that Reed proposed!

These two started chatting in high school after they had been in classes together a few times. Maranda said she’s a bit more shy and that Reed is the more outgoing one, but that once they did finally start chatting, they didn’t stop. How outgoing is Reed? I believe Maranda was the one who said to watch out on their wedding day because Reed has split his pants before with how much fun he has on the wedding dance floor. (Hey Siri, remind me to bring a sewing kit…) Speaking of pants and sewing kits, these two shared that Reed’s pants were too long for their engagement portraits, so Maranda did some quick thinking and hemmed the bottoms herself – quick thinking, girl!

Reed is an ecologist, so we got a free lesson as we walked along talking about the particular plants like their names and if native or not. I’ll be honest and say the only one I can remember was ironically called “reed” – must be a pretty cool guy to get an entire plant species named after him! ;) Maranda is currently nurse interning in Med Surg and has another year left before she graduates.

Reed & Maranda, thanks so much for the fun night and lots of laughs among the session! Reed thanks for your expert ring placing on that robin egg. We are so excited for you two to be preparing for the next chapter of your life and are beyond honored to walk alongside you in it! See you at Furber Farms!
