Peter was a maniac on the shoot—only so many hours of daylight, people. I'd worked with photographers like him before—talented and aggressive about getting the shoot right. He had a story for the shoot that involved following the evolution of a wedding from taking an early wedding morning stroll through the woods to the river, through the wedding, culminating in the honeymoon suite. The honeymoon shoot wasn't until tomorrow. I hadn't yet seen Knox's abs. I hoped they were as shredded as I imagined. Something to look forward to.

The day was sunny, but chilly. A few remnants of snow still clung to the shadows. I snuggled into my coat as I stepped from the bus onto the parking lot. The crew sprang to action, carrying gear and herding us toward a path to the river.

I hadn't planned on hiking, either. I hadn't worn the shoes for it, but I forged ahead gamely down the incline to the river. The trail was mostly packed dirt and gravel. I stumbled once when a bit of gravel gave way beneath my feet.

Knox was quick to catch me by my elbow with his partially robotic left hand. "Careful there."

Our eyes met. I was sure he didn't think so, but he used his left hand with more skill and dexterity than he thought. "My hero."

He laughed. "That's me. The Six Million Dollar Man."

"Six million dollars for fingers now, is it?" I teased. "You really need to get some 3D-printed fingers. They're much cheaper."

"I'll keep that in mind."

As we neared the end of the trail, the river made itself known with the soothing white noise of rushing water. The trees around us whispered in the wind. Birds sang. The river, the woods, the air—everything smelled fresh and free. Being near Knox heightened the sensation. I felt comfortable with him, free to be myself.

The setting was stunning—just downriver from Snoqualmie Falls. It was easy to see what engagement photographers loved about the location. It was a color palette in nature. Want blues and cool colors? The river was a deep blue, a different shade of it depending on the sky and lighting, a perfect flowing blue foil. The river rocks on shore were smooth and varied sizes, shapes, and shades of light blue that blended to grays.

If yellow was your thing, the plants along shore were still coming out of winter's sleep—a palette of tans, creams, and soft yellows with the hint of spring buds. And then there was green. Green in a wide variety of hues from deep emerald to pale spring green in the lushly forested areas just uphill from the river.

There was nothing quite as romantic in nature as the mystery of a forest. Ivy embraced the trees. Ferns and leaves hovered around the bases of giant cedars and Douglas firs. Moss appeared in clumps and velveted long, tumbled logs. It was a beautiful place to be. It was a perfect place to be photographed with someone you loved.

Hair, makeup, and wardrobe set up quick tents.
