Shelby and Nick
Shelby and Nick came to Nauyaca Waterfall for an engagement session that matched their love of adventure. The jungle, the sound of falling water and a couple who clearly enjoyed each other set the tone from the start.
Their adventurous spirits were infectious, and it was easy to get caught up in their excitement. Nauyaca Waterfall was our playground for the session, and Shelby and Nick were adventurous co-conspirators.
Sunlight through the canopy

For them the session was never only about photographs. It was a way to celebrate their love and their appetite for exploring the world together.
