Heidi + Joe’s Engagement at McCrory Gardens | Brookings, SD
Some love stories bloom in ways that feel perfectly rooted in place. For Heidi + Joe, that place is McCrory Gardens in Brookings, South Dakota. Their engagement session here was filled with gentle laughter, soft light through the trees, and the quiet kind of joy that makes photos feel timeless.
What makes it even more special? This isn’t just the backdrop for their engagement—it will also be where they say “I do” this September. There’s something beautiful about capturing both seasons of their story in the same place: first, the anticipation and promise of engagement, and soon, the covenant and celebration of marriage.
As we walked the gardens, it was easy to see the depth of their love—playful in some moments, reflective in others. The flowers, winding paths, and open skies created the perfect canvas for their connection to shine through.
We can’t wait to come back to McCrory Gardens in just a few months to photograph their wedding day. To witness the same couple, in the same place, stepping into a whole new chapter—what an honor.
Heidi + Joe, your joy is radiant, and your love is a testimony. We’re counting down the days until September.
Your wedding day is more than a celebration—it’s a testimony. We’d be honored to capture it with presence, love, and grace.
Photographing presence, guided by grace.
