A Fairytale-Inspired Engagement Session at Holcomb Gardens & Crooked Creek

If you're dreaming of a romantic engagement session inspired by The Princess Bride, you're going to love this one. This sweet couple wanted their engagement photos to reflect the whimsical, storybook romance of one of their favorite movies—and mine too! As a photographer, I absolutely love when couples bring their personalities into their sessions, and this Princess Bride-inspired shoot was nothing short of magical.

We started our session at the lush and picturesque Holcomb Gardens in Indianapolis, the perfect backdrop for timeless and romantic engagement photos. The dreamy landscape gave us that enchanted garden feel, just like something out of a fairytale. From there, we headed to Crooked Creek, where the peaceful scenery and soft light gave us even more magical moments to capture.

The weather was perfect, and this couple was even more so. Their natural connection, sweet laughter, and heartfelt love made my job incredibly easy. Every frame felt like a scene from a love story, and the entire session felt like it could’ve been lifted right from the pages of a romantic film.

As a huge fan of The Princess Bride, I couldn’t help but smile as we captured those "as you wish" moments throughout the day. It’s sessions like these that remind me why I love engagement photography—telling real love stories in beautiful, meaningful ways.

Whether you’re planning a themed shoot or looking for inspiration for your own romantic engagement photos in Indianapolis, Holcomb Gardens and Crooked Creek are two locations you’ll definitely want to consider.
