Abigail & Nolan’s Beautiful Golden Hour Engagement Session at Lake of the Woods

Abigail and Nolan’s engagement session at Lake of the Woods in Mahomet, IL, was nothing short of magical. Shot by my talented associate, Kaula, this session perfectly captures the golden hour glow that we both adore.

Lake of the Woods offers the ideal backdrop for a golden hour session—rolling fields, tranquil waters, and scenic trails. As the sun dipped behind the trees, the entire park came alive with that warm, golden light that makes engagement photos feel timeless. In fact, it’s one of my favorite locations for any season! Just look at the gorgeous shots we got there during Rachel and Eric’s winter engagement session!

Kaula, who loves shooting at golden hour, has a true gift for finding that perfect light. Whether it’s the soft warmth filtering through the trees or the gentle glow on the water, Kaula knows exactly how to use the light to bring out the best in each couple—and it was clear with Abigail and Nolan.
