There’s something undeniably magical about Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom—and when you combine that dreamy setting with the love story of two kind, adventurous souls like Kate and Drew, the result is pure gold. Their engagement session in Burke, Vermont was one for the books: all warm light, rolling fields, cozy laughter, and a epic views for days.

A Burke, Vermont Engagement Session Full of Heart

Nestled in the heart of the NEK, Burke is a hidden gem for couples who crave nature, quiet charm, and sweeping mountain views. Kate and Drew chose this stunning location for their engagement session because it holds a special place in their hearts—it’s where they bike, explore, and dream together.

From the start, their session was full of ease and authenticity. Kate’s soft smile and Drew’s gentle presence made photographing them feel like a slow Sunday morning: unhurried, joyful, and real. In actuality, it was Easter Sunday, and felt soft and easy,

Golden Fields + Drama Filled Light

The sun dipped in and out of dramatic clouds as we wandered through grassy fields and gravel roads, soaking in that golden hour light that only Vermont seems to do quite this perfectly. Kate wore a flowing ivory dress that danced with the breeze, while Drew kept it classic with an outdoorsy, relaxed look that matched their vibe to a tee. Together, they looked like they belonged in a Vermont love story—because they are one.

We met at this most beauty Chapel in Darling Hill Road (I'll leave it up to you to find out more details) and the location could not have been more perfect!

Their connection? Effortless. From little forehead kisses to the way they held hands without even thinking about it, Kate and Drew made it clear this was more than an engagement shoot—it was a quiet celebration of everything they’ve already built together.

Why Burke is a Dreamy Engagement Photo Location

As a Vermont engagement photographer, I’m always on the lookout for locations that blend natural beauty with emotional connection. Burke hits that sweet spot. With its expansive meadows, hidden trails, and those oh-so-Vermont red barns dotting the landscape, it offers a ton of variety without ever feeling crowded or staged.

Kate and Drew’s session is proof that the best engagement photos come from simply being present—with your person, in a place you love. And I cannot wait to photograph their wedding here this fall (OMG IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL!!)
