Lauren and Dan’s beach engagement session in Newport, RI, was nothing short of magical. The picturesque backdrop of the waterfront provided the perfect setting for these two and their genuine happiness and love for each other made it incredibly easy to capture these photos. The stunning lighting we were lucky enough to have during this session seemed to follow Lauren and Dan. It was the same golden light that would accompany them on their wedding day just a couple of months later making those photos just as spectacular if I do say so myself! It is fitting since Lauren, with her infectious energy and boundless positivity, is her own little ray of light!

We love doing beach engagement sessions and this one is a fave! Enjoy!

AHHH the most amazing engagement session in Portsmouth, NH with the sweetest couple, Ari and Josh! We’ve been to Portsmouth countless times for sessions, and let me tell you, it never gets old – especially in the fall! This time we hit the jackpot – flowers still in bloom, leaves changing colors – magic! We couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop for Ari and Josh’s engagement photos.

This was very nearly the Manhattan engagement session that almost wasn’t! Abbie and Bryan are super busy people. No surprise because only very important people hire us! Unfortunately it sometimes makes scheduling difficult. Abbie started a new job that required travel, there was bad weather, we got booked with portraits as the fall arrived. Let’s not forget the weddings that were already scheduled every weekend! We must have rescheduled this session about five times! But then the deadline for Abbie and Bryan to print their save the dates was looming and we made it happen.

There was some rain in the forecast for the day we met this fabulous couple at the Seaport in Manhattan, but we decided to just go with it! We had no choice! It was now or never. It only sprinkled a little, and we think it was to our advantage. Sometimes, they wet everything down on a movie set before filming because the water brings out the colors and adds a little reflection. We think we got the same effect from the rain! Look at those wet cobblestones! And the blue of Abbie’s dress just popped!

We’re so glad we were able to at last make this engagement session in Manhattan happen with Abbie and Bryan. As Abbie’s cookie from Funny Face Bakery says in the last image … fucking finally!
