Santa Fe Engagement Session on Sky Railway // Camila + Isaac
A unique Santa Fe engagement session aboard Sky Railway celebrating travel, adventure, and their Bumble success story.
If you are looking for a Santa Fe engagement session that feels more like an experience than a traditional photo shoot, C and I’s Sky Railway session is a perfect example. The two met through Bumble and quickly built a relationship around travel, trying new foods, hiking, puzzles, and finding new experiences together.
With their wedding planned for 2028, their engagement session was a chance to document this part of their story while doing something that genuinely felt like them.
A Bumble Success Story
C and I met on Bumble, and their relationship has grown into one centered around adventure and curiosity. One of their favorite trips together was to Mo’orea, French Polynesia, for I’s 30th birthday, which they described as both beautiful and completely insane.
They love traveling, exploring new places, eating good food, hiking, working on puzzles, and generally saying yes to new experiences. So naturally, a train ride through the New Mexico landscape made for a pretty fitting engagement experience.

Experience Sky Railway
“Audrey is kind, professional, and (perhaps most importantly) enthusiastic! She makes sure your vision and creativity is involved in the process, and produces a gorgeous end product that anyone would be happy about.” – C.S.
Why Sky Railway Is Perfect for Engagement Photos
Sky Railway offers something different from the typical engagement session. Instead of simply arriving at a scenic location and posing for an hour, you actually get to experience something together.
The historic railway runs between Santa Fe and Lamy, offering restored train cars, New Mexico scenery, and a variety of themed experiences throughout the year.
That makes it especially fun for couples who want their photos to feel candid and natural. You can talk, explore the train, take in the scenery, and enjoy your time together while I document it all.
Make Your Engagement Session an Experience
Your engagement photos do not have to be a traditional photo shoot.
Think about what you actually enjoy doing together. Maybe you want to hike, explore a new restaurant, ride a train, wander around Santa Fe, or try something neither of you has done before.
The best engagement sessions usually feel less like a photo shoot and more like a really good date with a photographer along for the ride.
For C and I, that meant hoping on the Sky Railway and enjoying an afternoon together. Their session gave them beautiful photographs, but it also gave them another experience to add to their story.
Planning Your Own Santa Fe Engagement Session
If you are planning a Santa Fe engagement session, start with the experience rather than the location. What do you genuinely love doing together? What would make the afternoon feel like you?
Santa Fe has plenty of options, from the historic downtown and Railyard to the surrounding mountains and desert landscapes. Sky Railway is another great choice if you want something a little unexpected.
Whether you are local to New Mexico or traveling here for your engagement photos, your session should feel personal, relaxed, and true to your relationship.
C and I, congratulations on your engagement! I cannot wait to see where your next adventure takes you before your 2028 wedding.
