Phoebe and Jake – Fantasy Forest Engagement

A Setting Straight Out of a Fairytale Phoebe and Jake embraced a Ren Faire aesthetic for their engagement session with flowing fabrics, earthy tones, and subtle medieval details. Soft gowns, textured layers, leather accents, and boots grounded the look in realism while still allowing it to feel whimsical and timeless. The forest provided the perfect backdrop for this fantasy-inspired engagement session. Moss-covered logs, winding paths, and patches of dappled sunlight created natural stages for quiet moments and sweeping romance. Congratulations to Phoebe and Jake, who will exchange their vows this November at Newcastle Gardens.

And while we don’t do this every year, this
