Engagement Session at the Marsh in Sherwood Park | Desirae & Eric

Last week, Megan met up with Desirae and Eric for their engagement session at the Marsh in Sherwood Park, and it could not have been more beautiful. The sunlight showed up in the best way, wrapping everything in a warm, golden glow that made the entire evening feel magical.

The Marsh is one of our favourite engagement photo locations near Sherwood Park and the Edmonton area. With its open pathways, tall grasses, and peaceful water views, it offers a natural and romantic backdrop in every season. But when you pair it with golden hour sunlight like we had last week, it completely transforms the space. The light felt soft, warm, and almost dreamy — the kind of glow photographers wait for.

Golden Hour at the Sherwood Park Marsh

Golden hour at the Marsh in Sherwood Park is truly something special. The sun reflects off the water and filters through the grasses, creating soft highlights and dimension that photograph beautifully. For engagement sessions, this kind of lighting adds that timeless, romantic feel couples love.

Desirae and Eric were so natural together. They laughed easily, leaned into each other effortlessly, and made the entire session feel relaxed and fun. When a couple is genuinely connected, it makes such a difference in their engagement photos — and these two made it easy.

The Cutest Engagement Session Outfits

And we absolutely have to talk about their outfits. I’m obsessed. Desirae and Eric chose pieces that were stylish, coordinated, and perfect for the natural tones of the Marsh. Their look elevated the entire session while still feeling authentic and comfortable. Thoughtful wardrobe choices always make engagement photos stand out, and they nailed it.
