An autumn engagement session in Gatineau Park is always something special and Nick and Rosie’s session was no exception. Just outside Ottawa Ontario, Gatineau Park offers rolling hills, open meadows and warm golden light in the fall. It is the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and romantic engagement shoot.
Nick and Rosie chose to schedule their engagement session in Gatineau Park just one week before their wedding day, which made the experience even more meaningful. With their wedding at Evermore (located just outside Almonte) right around the corner, this session felt like a calm, joy-filled pause before the excitement of their wedding day.
The autumn colours in Gatineau Park were at their peak during the session with soft yellows, warm greens and hints of red and orange created a timeless, earthy palette that complemented the couple beautifully. Rosie wore a flowing beige dress that moved effortlessly in the breeze, while Nick’s casual, classic look kept everything feeling natural and authentic. The setting allowed them to focus on each other; laughing and walking hand in hand through the fields, soaking in the moment together.
One of the highlights of this engagement session was how relaxed Nick and Rosie were in front of the camera. Engagement photos are not just about beautiful images; they’re also about getting comfortable, building trust and capturing genuine connection. Their easy smiles and quiet moments together made the session feel effortless, resulting in images that truly reflect who they are as a couple.
Gatineau Park is a favourite location for engagement sessions outside Ottawa for good reason. Its vast landscapes provide variety without the need to travel far, making it ideal for couples looking for a natural setting close to the city. Whether it’s the open rolling fields, scenic lookouts, or soft forest trails, the park offers endless possibilities in every season.. especially in autumn.
Knowing that Nick and Rosie’s wedding at Evermore was only days away added an extra layer of excitement to their engagement session. It was a beautiful way to celebrate this chapter of their story and mark the transition from engagement to marriage.
If you’re planning an engagement session in Gatineau Park or anywhere just outside Ottawa, autumn is an incredible time to do it. Nick and Rosie’s session is a perfect reminder that sometimes the simplest moments, (a walk, a laugh, a shared glance) make the most meaningful photographs.
