Assiniboine forest is a gorgeous photo shoot location any time of year and I have hosted engaged couples among its birch trees during every season, but I will say that the forest is particularly wonderful in the winter. During Ethan and Maggie's snowy engagement session, we took shelter from the chilly wind along the forests path, where these trees blocked some of the cold. I love the tones that their bark produced during this session. The sun was setting over the forests open prairie field as we ended our session.
