Chelsea & Josh | Malaga Couples Photographer

July 31, 2020

Filed in: Portraits

Malaga Hilltop couples session

Oh man… I knew this session would be fire! How you ask?
One, because Chelsea is a fellow photographer in the Wenatchee area and has a creative eye. And two, because she stepped out of her Jeep looking drop-dead gorgeous in the mustard colored dress! She knows the way to my heart: that color, straight up. Paired with the local Balsamroot on Stemilt Hill… even better!!

Chelsea and I have been wanting to get together for a Wenatchee Couples session for so long.  Both with busy schedules (working day jobs and also rocking the side hustle), we just couldn’t make it work. FINALLY, we did, and I couldn’t be happier with the way these images turned out. Literally all the thanks to Chelsea for leading me deep into the Malaga hillside for this not-so-secret Balsamroot patch at the perfect time of day. I could tell she had been saving this spot special for her couples session with Josh.

A hidden gem in the Malaga hills

Not going to lie, I lovingly wondered at one point in the very long drive if they were leading me somewhere into the hills for a “wrong turn” type crime scene. But the last turn introduced us to this gorgeous field just off the road and my jaw literally dropped.

THE LOCATION EVERY MALAGA COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHER DREAMS OF.

The sun came through the trees and created the most gorgeous glow on the flowers while Chelsea and Josh got comfortable in the front of the camera. In all honesty, it didn’t take long. As I mentioned earlier, Chelsea is a fellow photographer so she basically led their session with just a few suggestions from me. It was so easy and so natural!

Then this sweet moment happened! That twirl!

And let’s not forget the fur baby. I get excited every time a couples tells me they’d like to bring their pups!

Switching gears to a Wenatchee Overlook

We switched gears and changed locations to this beautiful Wenatchee overlook. Josh pointed out all the landmarks of our small town from his daily route and we had so much fun adventuring just a little bit more!
