Reunion with a Furry Friend: A Couples Session with Pets

Some couples just stick with you. We photographed these two on their wedding day, and when they reached out about a couples session with pets at Token Creek Park, we didn’t hesitate. They showed up with two giant Bernese mountain dogs, matching grins, and the kind of ease that only comes from people who genuinely enjoy being together. The wildflowers were in full bloom, golden hour was doing its thing, and we had the whole meadow to ourselves.

When Past Couples Come Back

There’s something deeply rewarding about seeing a couple again after their wedding. The nervous energy is gone. What’s left is just them, settled into each other, and in this case, completely wrapped up in their dogs. We love that. The Bernese mountain dogs were absolute scene-stealers, flopping into the wildflowers and nudging in for every frame. We leaned into the chaos and let them all just be themselves.

Token Creek Park gave us exactly the kind of backdrop we were hoping for. Tall grass, open trails, soft light filtering through the trees at the edges. We shot wide to let the landscape breathe and pulled in tight when the couple started laughing at their dogs barreling through the meadow. If you’re considering a couples portrait session with your dog (or dogs, plural), Token Creek is one of our go-to recommendations in the DeForest area. Plenty of space, gorgeous light, and nobody minds a little off-leash energy.

This is the kind of session we live for. No timeline pressure, no formal posing, just real connection and a golden evening. Past wedding couple or brand new to us, it doesn’t matter. Bring your people (furry ones included), and we’ll make it feel like you.
