Chickamauga Battlefield Engagement Photos | Alexa & Austin's Session in Chattanooga

Alexa looking over her shoulder as Austin holds her close – Chattanooga engagement session

There’s something timeless about golden fields, towering trees, and the quiet beauty of Chickamauga Battlefield. Add in a couple like Alexa and Austin—full of love, laughter, and that electric “just us” energy—and you’ve got magic.

Their engagement session was the kind I’ll remember for a long time. From the start, it felt less like posing and more like watching two best friends simply be together.

⚾️ A Little Backstory: Baseball, Love & Chattanooga Roots

Austin plays professional baseball for the Chattanooga Lookouts, so this city already holds a special place in their story. Between road trips and training, the two have built a life that balances adventure with deep connection—and it shows in every photo.

Alexa brings such warmth and calm, while Austin has that quiet confidence. Together? They’re effortless.

🌾 Why Chickamauga Battlefield Was the Perfect Backdrop

We chose Chickamauga Battlefield for its wide-open feel and natural tones—grassy fields, weathered fences, and old trees that light up at golden hour. It gave us space to slow down, breathe, and focus on the little moments.

We timed their session for late afternoon, and as the sun dipped low, it gave us the soft, glowy light photographers dream of. One of my favorite shots? Austin spinning Alexa with that huge smile on her face as the last bit of sun hit the top of the grass. Feels like a movie scene.

💍 Outfit Tips Worth Noting

Alexa and Austin nailed their outfit choices—classic and neutral with just enough texture to pop on camera. Soft whites, dusty blues, and khaki tones all played beautifully with the landscape without ever overpowering it.

When planning your own engagement session, think:

Muted colors (they photograph softer)
Pieces you feel yourself in
A second outfit that’s either dressier or more playful (like Alexa’s second look)
