Avery and I met through TikTok when she found my work, reached out about helping with my social media, and somehow a simple DM turned into a steady collaboration and friendship. She’s been behind the scenes with me for almost a year now, making sense of my creative chaos. When she mentioned wanting Western engagement photos, it felt right that we do them together. Avery lives in Colorado, and her fiancé, Aiden, is stationed in Oklahoma. They’ve been doing long distance, but soon she’ll be moving to Oklahoma after their wedding, trading mountains for pastures, and she wanted photos that would capture that. The place they’re about to call home, and what it means to build something new together.

Her only request was that the photos feel simple, unposed, a little playful. So we leaned into the quiet parts of Oklahoma: the fields, the hay bales, and the pond that mirrored the sky.

Western Engagement Photos | Fink Ranch

Fink Ranch sits just outside Oklahoma City — wide pastures, a quiet pond, and a few curious horses. It’s simply beautiful.

For mid-August, the weather felt like a small miracle. High 80s, overcast, and not a trace of the usual Oklahoma heatwave that turns the air into soup. The clouds rolled in early and stayed put, giving us soft, even light all day. Sure, we didn’t get a sunset, but honestly? I didn’t miss it. The even light let us roam, and we got to play around with that blue light at dusk.

The mood of the day matched the weather. We wandered from the pond to the hay bales, ending near the stables as the light faded. Sometimes the best sessions are the ones that unfold exactly the way the day decides.

The Oklahoma Session Vibes

Avery showed up in a playful and timeless white romper. The brown cowboy boots. Together, they looked like the couple you’d see laughing at the county fair.

They sprinted across hay bales like kids, and there was a lot of laughter, a few sarcastic comments, and easy affection that doesn’t need direction. The horses made a guest appearance near the end. What I love most about this gallery isn’t the light or the composition, but how comfortable they look. It hints at what’s ahead — a life built on simple moments and shared laughter.
