There’s something so special about engagement sessions — the giddy anticipation of forever, the sweet in-between season before the wedding day, and the chance to simply soak in each other’s love. Haylie and Garrett’s engagement session at Flippen Park in Dallas, TX was truly the perfect reflection of their joyful, timeless love story.

A Dreamy Location with Perfect Weather

These two are the sweetest pair — full of laughter, love, and so much joy! From the very first moment of their session, their connection was so evident. They envisioned a classic, timeless session that combined lush greenery and architectural elements — and Flippen Park delivered in every way. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect with the sun shining and warm golden light filtering through the trees. It was the kind of day that feels meant to be.

What made their session truly magical was how much fun they had together. Haylie and Garrett weren’t afraid to let loose, giggle, and be themselves — and that always makes for the most genuine, heartfelt images. They wanted their photos to feel put together and timeless but still capture their playful personalities, and we did just that!

Their Love Story

Haylie and Garrett’s journey began in 2022 when they met at a mentoring group for elementary students near Harding University. With mutual friends connecting them, their conversations began — and soon, their sweet love story unfolded. They are now preparing to celebrate two years together as they step into this next beautiful season.

Garrett planned the sweetest proposal at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs — a place that holds special meaning for them. He knew how much Haylie loved flowers, and the botanical gardens were a perfect backdrop for such a special moment. After stalling (with a little help from some koi fish food to pass the time!), Garrett got down on one knee by the waterfall — completely surprising Haylie in the best way. Her reaction was priceless, and the happy tears that followed were proof of just how much this moment meant to both of them.

Looking Ahead to The Gardenia Venue Wedding

Haylie and Garrett are counting down the days until they say “I do” this summer at The Gardenia Venue — a stunning venue that will perfectly complement their timeless vision. If their engagement session is any indication, their wedding day is going to be filled with so much love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Haylie and Garrett — thank you both for trusting me to capture this beautiful season of your lives! Your joy is contagious, and your love is truly something special. I cannot wait to celebrate with you both this summer!!
