When you meet through mutual love of swimming, and one of your favorite things to do together is go for a swim, we obviously have to have a swimming pool engagement session. You probably can’t tell, but this was on a particularly cold day in March. Luckily the pool was heated, but I was still a shivering mess more often than not. Totally worth it though.

Before I show you more pool photos, here’s how we started their session: dressed and dry AND with their sweet pup joining us for a few kisses.

obviously bring your dog to your engagement photo session!

A swimming pool engagement session is nothing without a little underwater tea party. Remember doing that as a kid?

We ended with a nice warm shower as the daylight faded away.

This was the first time I went underwater with a couple, but I always love a fun engagement session that is unique to the you! I’ve photographed couples going on a museum date, hanging out with lemurs, getting dressed up at a hockey stadium, going to the state fair, playing video games, getting their marriage license, even paddle boarding. Want to give me another challenge with a super awesome engagement photo session idea? Hit me up!!
