A Whimsical Jewel Box Engagement Session

Engagement Session At The Jewel Box In Forest Park

When Mack and Billy first started planning their engagement session, they shared their vision for an outdoors-inspired session: candid, warm, intimate, and effortless moments. The Jewel Box at Forest Park was the perfect backdrop for their photos! This thoughtful couple—a nurse and teacher—lives in New York but is planning their wedding in St. Louis. When they found themselves in town one weekend for wedding planning, the timing worked out perfectly to incorporate the engagement shoot into their quick Missouri trip. I truly cannot say enough good things about this sweet couple!

The Jewel Box in Forest Park provided a beautiful backdrop for their summer session. This elegant conservatory, with its glass architecture and lush botanical surroundings, offered exactly the kind of romantic scenery that Mack and Billy had envisioned. We scheduled their St. Louis engagement session for the morning hours to beat the summer heat, and the soft lighting filtering through the trees created a dreamy atmosphere.

The way they care so much for each other is apparent in every frame, and it was such a joy to get to document their love!
