Autumn Engagement Session at Newfields

Nina and Matt’s autumn engagement session at Newfields was one of my absolute favorites this year! We managed to sneak their session in towards the end of September. It was one of those beautiful fall days where it was still warm with just a kiss of fall breeze in the air. The Newfields team was busy decorating for their upcoming Fall Fest but there were still flowers in bloom. It was the perfect meeting of summer and fall and the perfect day for an engagement session!

Nina and Matt are high school sweethearts. Though they technically met in the seventh grade. They went to separate schools but that didn’t stop their budding romance one bit. Before you know it, it was time for homecoming. Matt asked Nina but she thought they were just going as friends. Much to her surprise Matt thought otherwise and they’ve been together ever since!

After graduation, they both headed off to Purdue! While in school they both grew so much as individuals but still made time for one another. As a result their relationship grew even stronger! These days they love watching sports together and trying new restaurants. Matt is in his final year at Purdue studying Landscape Architecture so Newfields was truly the perfect location for this session! We cannot wait to celebrate with these two at their wedding at the Biltwell next year!
