Why Stowe Vermont is Perfect for Adventure Engagement Sessions

Join us as I break down a magical adventure engagement session in Stowe Vermont. From mountain views to storybook moments, Kaylene + Jason’s session shows why Stowe is the dream spot for nature-loving couples.

Starting at Sunrise

Our adventure started at a local trailhead beneath a dark sky illuminated by the brightest of stars. Just the day before, the area was bustling with cars and people exploring the fall foliage. One of the best parts of waking up early however, is that you will have the forest entirely to yourself.

We made our way up the trail, headlamps illuminating the way, talking about life and manifesting the best wedding day. The smell of crisp mountain air surrounded us as the crunch of the leaves could be heard beneath our feet.

Sunrise Hiking Session Vibes

The sky very slowly filled with a warm glow, as Kaylene and Jason got ready for our session. As the light began to fill the sky, their pup enjoyed a nice dip in the water.

This session echoed sentiments of their very first date together and their love for the outdoors. We spent time exploring during the morning light, enjoying the views around us. The forest and lake made the perfect backdrop to our adventure session.

Little breaks were a must to keep warm!

Exploring Stowe’s Charming Townscape

Next for Kay and Jason’s engagement session in Stowe Vermont, we ventured to a local covered bridge, and enjoyed some moments near a bustling little river. Tours of individuals bopping around Stowe would get off every so often, congratulating the couple.

Embracing Leave No Trace Principles

I think it’s important to note that one important practice of all adventure sessions is following Leave No Trace (LNT) principles. Respecting our environment, staying on the trail, and being careful to preserve the natural beauty of the land we get to call home for a short period of time is a vital part of celebrating our love for each other and nature. The location we went to for their session had multiple areas roped off, protecting fragile ecosystems, which we made sure not to disturb.

Not sure if an adventure engagement session is right for you?

You’re not alone!! If you’re dreaming of an experience that feels true to you, this might be the perfect fit. Here are a few things to consider as you imagine what your engagement session could look like:

• You love spending time outdoors – hiking, exploring, or just soaking in beautiful views together.
• You’d rather wear hiking boots than heels (or a mix of the two!) – and feel most like yourselves surrounded by nature.
• You want your photos to tell a story – not just of how you look, but how you feel in your favorite places.
• You’d love to turn your session into an actual adventure – maybe it’s chasing a waterfall, catching a sunrise, or strolling through your favorite mountain town.
• This is a great one! You’re planning a traditional wedding, but want your engagement session to feel a little wilder.
• You want to make memories, not just take photos.
