Outfit Inspiration | What To Wear To Your Engagement Session
Planning outfits for your engagement session can be stressful for some couples. Many couples even told me they tried on every outfit in their wardrobe or went out shopping for new clothes just for their engagement photos. Or even worse, they didn’t know what to wear, so they just wore any old outfit they found in the back of the closet, I’m looking at you grooms. Choosing your outfits for your engagement photos can feel impossible, and sometimes it’s tough to even know where to start. Luckily, I have a few ideas for you to take into consideration when thinking about your outfits!
Spring Engagement Photography at Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH
I returned to Odiorne Point State Park, one of my favorite spots, for Maria and Josh’s engagement session. It seems like the weather is drastically different every time I’m there, but the unpredictability is what I love about wedding and engagement photography. We already had to reschedule their engagement session once, due to the weather, but we were able to get there photos just about finished before it started to rain.
Sunset Engagement Session on Wingaersheek Beach | Golden Hour Engagement Photography
Samantha and Nick’s engagement session was a few years ago now, but the sunset is still one of my favorites to look back on. We met at the gorgeous Wingaersheek Beach, in Gloucester, MA, and it was perfect location for their engagement photos. We wandered up and down the beach during golden hour taking fun and romantic photos, from climbing on rocks and sharing a bottle of champagne, to walking, hand-in-hand, towards a breathtaking sunset.
She Said “Yes!” | Proposal and Engagement Photography at Millennium Park in Boston
There’s something special about photographing a proposal. It’s like planning for the ultimate surprise. I had begun planning this proposal after Kenny and his future mother-in-law reached out. It was very important for them to have their proposal professionally photographed because it was something Jackie had expressed, many times, and Kenny listened. I arrived at Millennium Park, in Boston, about an hour early, with my wife Hannah, to scout out the area and identify the spot Kenny was planning on dropping to one knee. After exploring the park for some time, I got the text that they were parked and making their way to the bridge where he was going to propose. Kenny and I locked eyes as they passed, but Jackie had no idea her life was about to change. Once they reached the bridge, I readied my camera and watched as the magic happened before our eyes.
A Romantic Proposal at Fan Pier Park in Boston | She Said “Yes!” | Boston Engagement Photography

Julie and Mike’s Engagement Session at Odiorne Point State Park | Summertime Engagement Photography
I met up with Julie and Mike at Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH on a hot and sunny day in August for their engagement session. Odiorne Point is a gorgeous park I have used many times for engagement photos, but on such a beautiful day, there was a big crowd, which limited some of the photo opportunities, but the way Julie and Mike looked at each other, you would think they were the only people in the world. Like many couples, they had expressed they were camera shy and felt awkward having their picture taken. One of my secrets for getting my couples comfortable with the camera and create the best photos is by having them focusing on each other and making each other laugh. Once they forget about the camera and focus on each other they let their guard down and start having fun, which is what I want for all my photoshoots.
Winter Engagement Photography at The Merrimack River Floodplain Forest in Concord, NH | Ashley & Todd’s Snowy Merrimack River Engagement Photos
During our initial phone call Ashley and Todd expressed they would love snowy engagement photos. So, we jumped at the first opportunity and were not disappointed. As a wedding photographer, I love providing my couples with unique experiences and photos, and I’ve found the weather is a fun tool to create interesting engagement photos.
Victoria and Jason’s Snowy Engagement Session at The Basin in Lincoln, NH | Snowy Winter Engagement Photography
As the snow falls, my 2025 season officially begins with an adventurous engagement session at The Basin, in Lincoln, New Hampshire. When I was about fifteen minutes away I noticed a few snowflakes coming down, and I knew that it was the perfect day for Victoria and Jason’s engagement photos. I just love when the weather works in our favor. I don’t mean a perfectly clear sky or golden sunset, those are always nice, but I also love when it downpours, or when it’s foggy, or when it is beginning to snow. It adds something to the experience and is a great way of making your engagement photos stand out.
Fall Couples Photography Session for Newlyweds, Sarah & Alex (with Tucker and Bear) at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth, NH
Sarah and Alex were unable to include their adorable Corgis in their wedding earlier in the year. Which is something many pet owners face when they are planning their own weddings. While the Pup-of-Honor can steal the show and make the day extra special for the couple, they are, unfortunately, not allowed at all venues or parks. That’s why it was very important for the couple that we found a location that was dog friendly.
