Some couples are just effortlessly fun to be around, and Grace and Tyler are 100% that couple. Their session at Dudgeon Lake Wildlife Management Area in Vinton was packed with golden light, gorgeous scenery, and a whole lot of laughs — especially during a few surprise “almost drops” mid-dip pose!
Grace’s floral dress was stunning, her pink hair was even more striking, and together they brought so much warmth and charm to their photos. From soft hugs in the tall grass to playful moments on the trail, every frame felt authentic to who they are — light-hearted, smitten, and as they describe themselves: facilitators of a good time.
Grace and Tyler have been together nearly five years after meeting on Bumble in 2019, and their relationship has clearly been built on both deep care and good humor. He’s the guy who can turn anything into a laugh, and she’s the one with a heart big enough to care for everyone around her. Together, they’re the perfect match of energy, kindness, and connection.
The two were excited walking into their session — especially knowing Christopher would be behind the camera. And between Christopher and Hailee hyping them up the entire time, the session felt less like posing and more like hanging out with friends during golden hour (which, let’s be honest, is the best kind of shoot).
Whether they were cozying up in the golden grass or laughing through goofy poses, every photo felt like them. And that’s what we love most.
Grace & Tyler — thanks for bringing the joy. You truly made this session unforgettable.
