Fall Engagement Session at Harrison Lake, BC | Fraser Valley Photographer

Late fall in Harrison Hot Springs has a quiet kind of magic. The crowds thin out, the air cools, and the landscape settles into rich colour and soft light. This engagement session took place along the shores of Harrison Lake, surrounded by golden leaves, lush forest, and mountain views that felt timeless and calm. As the sun dipped behind the mountains, warm light spilled across the lake, reflecting off the water and wrapping everything in soft tones. The forest was alive with late fall colour, deep greens mixed with yellows and golds, creating a setting that felt both intimate and cinematic. This particular spot along the lake offers the best of everything — towering trees, open shoreline, and quiet forest paths all within a short walk. It allows couples to move naturally through their session, letting the landscape become part of their story rather than just a backdrop. Harrison Hot Springs is known for its natural beauty, and it’s easy to see why it continues to be a favourite for engagement sessions in the Fraser Valley. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway or planning photos here, the area offers endless inspiration. You can explore more about the Harrison River Valley through their official tourism site. This session felt like the perfect prelude to what’s coming next. I’ll be photographing their wedding this fall at the Grand Hall in District 1881, in Chilliwack, BC and the moody fall tones of this engagement session already hint at the atmosphere their wedding day will hold. Late fall engagement sessions are about slowing down and leaning into the season. The colours are deeper, the light is softer, and everything feels a little more intentional. It’s one of my favourite times of year to photograph couples, especially in places as naturally beautiful as Harrison Lake.
