When Christy and Graham told me they wanted jaw-dropping mountain views for their engagement session, I knew exactly where to take them. We headed to a breathtaking spot along Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, where the view is nothing short of magical. As if the towering peaks weren’t enough, we arrived to find the most beautiful purple wildflowers in full bloom! They ended up having such a dreamy wildflower engagement session in GNP and it was such an honor to be able to capture it for them.

A Dreamy Summer Wildflower Engagement in Glacier National Park

As we wandered through the wildflowers and admired the sweeping views, we spent the session simply enjoying the moment. Christy and Graham were so fun to photograph! They were completely wrapped up in each other. They made my job so easy! We talked about their wedding plans, their love for adventure, and how special it was to capture these moments in such a meaningful place. Their wildflower engagement session, with the mountains in the background, made for some absolute dream photos!

Tips for a Summer Wildflower Engagement in Glacier National Park:

Timing is everything: Wildflower season typically peaks from mid-July to early August, depending on snowmelt. Plan your session around this window for the best blooms.

Go early (or late): Sunrise or golden hour sessions not only provide dreamy light but also help you avoid mid-day crowds, especially in popular spots like Logan Pass or Many Glacier.

Pack layers: Even in summer, Glacier can be chilly—especially in the mornings or at higher elevations. Bring a cozy blanket or jacket just in case!

Wear complementary colors: Soft, earthy tones or subtle pastels look amazing against the greens, purples, and golds of the wildflower meadows. Avoid busy patterns that might compete with the natural beauty.

Be ready to roam: Some of the best wildflower spots require a short hike or walk. Wear comfortable shoes you don’t mind getting a little dusty—or even bring two pairs (one for walking, one for photos).

Respect the landscape: Stay on established trails or durable surfaces to help preserve the fragile alpine meadows. It’s possible to get beautiful photos and protect this incredible place for future adventurers.
