Kinney Azalea Garden Engagement

You ever stumble on a place so fantastical it feels like it belongs in a fairy tale? Or Dr Suess book? That’s Kinney Azalea Garden in full spring bloom. It’s got all the cozy forest vibes, tangled green paths, and of course, those cotton-candy-colored azaleas that make you feel like you’re walking through a watercolor painting. This is the exact kind of place where you’d expect to spot woodland creatures helping you get ready for your engagement session.

So when James reached out (before he even proposed!) I was already obsessed. He was planning on popping the question on Easter Sunday, but was already looking ahead to booking an engagement session. Freakin legend. He even sent me a photo of the ring before Tyler saw it (and yes, it was stunning).

Their vibe? A little fairy tale, a little goofy, and all heart. They mentioned wanting a Shrek-inspired wedding (not literally, but with that enchanted-forest-meets-Donkey-on-the-dancefloor kind of thing), and Kinney Azalea Garden was the absolute perfect match.

Engagement Session Goals: Cozy, Joyful, and Fully THEM

We planned the shoot for peak bloom and WOOOOOOW did nature deliver. The gardens were bursting with soft pinks, bold REDS, and that delicious green that only happens in spring. But the real magic? Tyler and James themselves.

They were playful and hilarious, and totally at ease with each other. The kind of couple that makes every moment feel like they were still just chilling at home. Their chemistry was PERFECTION, and I could’ve photographed them all day (and tbh wanted to move into the garden and stay forever).

What Made This Session Extra Special:

  • The secret proposal planning—Tyler had no idea James booked this before popping the question.
  • Their shared vision: whimsical, personal, and totally offbeat in the best way.
  • Their laughter. Seriously, these two never stop cracking each other up.

Thinking of Kinney Azalea Garden for Your Engagement Session?

Here’s the scoop:

  • Best time to go: Mid to late May is when the azaleas go wild.
  • Vibe: Romantic, whimsical, woodsy garden core.
  • Bonus points: There’s variety! Forest-y spots, stone structures, and all those vibrant florals.

If you’re looking for a spot that makes you feel like you stepped into your favorite storybook, Kinney is it. Whether you’re newly engaged, planning something artsy and personal, or just looking for a hidden gem in Rhode Island, this place delivers.

And if you’re someone who wants photos that feel like you: awkward laughs, games of tag, genuine emotion and all, I’m your girl.
