Danielle and Anthony’s engagement session at Kercher’s Orchard was peak fall in the best way.
Apple picking, cozy layers, and that crisp autumn air that makes everything feel a little more fun. We treated it like a date, kept it moving, and captured a mix of candid moments and classic portraits along the way.
Kercher’s is such a solid engagement session spot if you want fall photos that feel playful and real.
You’ve got rows of trees, plenty of texture, and an activity built right in. That means you’re not standing around wondering what to do. You’re actually doing something together, which is exactly how you get natural photos.
The apple picking part is always a favorite.
Walking the orchard, reaching for apples, handing them back and forth, laughing when one drops, those moments create the best candid images. We mixed in a few clean portraits between the rows, then let the rest unfold naturally.
Danielle and Anthony were fully in the moment, and it made the whole session feel effortless.
Orchards are one of the best “activity session” locations because they give you built-in variety.
You get clean leading lines, beautiful textures, and flattering light filtering through the trees. Plus, the photos end up feeling like a real memory, not just a photoshoot.
1) Dress for the season.
Layers photograph great in the fall and keep you comfortable.
2) Wear shoes you can walk in.
Orchard ground can be uneven, and you’ll be moving around a lot.
3) Embrace the activity.
Don’t worry about being “perfect.” The laughs and little moments are the whole point.
If you want engagement photos that feel fun, seasonal, and true to you, apple picking at Kercher’s Orchard is such a good choice.
We’ll help you plan the flow, keep it relaxed, and capture the kind of candid moments that make your gallery feel like a real fall date together.
