Fall Engagement Photos at Lafayette Square Park in St. Louis

Carleigh and Colin’s engagement session at Lafayette Square Park felt like the best kind of November afternoon. Cold, colorful, and absolutely beautiful.

The leaves were glowing gold, the paths were covered in fall color, and the whole session had a little bit of an Autumn in New York feeling, just tucked into St. Louis.

Fall Engagement Photos in St. Louis

Carleigh and Colin are both teachers, so November made the most sense for their engagement photos before their summer wedding. It also gave us one of the prettiest fall backdrops of the season.

They are such a calm, easygoing couple, and that really came through in their photos. We kept the session simple: walking through the park, stopping where the light and color felt best, and giving them just enough direction so everything felt comfortable without becoming stiff.

The result was exactly what I love in an engagement session. Relaxed, personal, and full of real laughter.

Lafayette Square Park in the Fall

Lafayette Square Park was showing off that day. The golden leaves, stone steps, and quiet paths gave the session a romantic, cozy feeling without needing to overdo anything.

Some of my favorite photos from their session are the in-between moments. The little laughs, the way they leaned into each other, and the ease they had together once they settled in.

Carleigh and Colin, thank you for spending a chilly November afternoon with me. Your fall engagement session was such a beautiful start to this season, and I cannot wait to celebrate your summer wedding with you.

For couples looking for fall engagement photos in St. Louis, Lafayette Square Park is a beautiful choice for color, charm, and a relaxed city-park feel.
