Hope & Justin // St. Louis Science Center

When Hope and Justin said, “Hey, what if we do our engagement session outside the Saint Louis Science Center at golden hour?”—our response was basically, “Say less.” Golden hour light? Cool architecture? Pine trees that look like we teleported to Colorado? Count us in.

As St. Louis engagement photographers, we’re always looking for spots that mix romance with a little bit of “wow,” and this one absolutely delivered. The Science Center campus is surrounded by stunning pine trees that made it feel like a fairy tale. Add in that iconic building structure and some dreamy skies, and boom—photo magic.

Hope and Justin brought the energy too. They were all laughs, snuggles, and natural chemistry—not to mention the fact that they managed to make “standing in front of a museum” look like a scene from a Nicholas Sparks movie.

The clouds showed up just right, the light was golden and glowy, and we all had that “are we in a movie right now?” feeling. Honestly, these photos? Epic. Frame-worthy. Maybe even Nobel Prize–worthy if the Science Center wants to get involved.

If you're dreaming of engagement photos that feel authentically you, with a dash of adventure and a sprinkle of golden hour magic, we’re your people. Let’s make your session unforgettable—quirks, cuddles, and all.
