The rugged coast of Ogunquit, Maine, was the perfect backdrop for Amanda and Christopher’s adventure engagement session. We explored hidden coves and rocky shores from "Little Beach" down to "Perkins Cove," then caught a spectacular sunset at Ogunquit Beach.
Spring Engagement Photography at Tarbin Gardens
Last month I finally returned to, the always enchanting, Tarbin Gardens with Morgan and Joey during their engagement session. Even though the forecast said it would rain, which I was secretly excited for because of its romantic charm, but the rain held off, leaving us with a beautiful afternoon to privately explore the gardens. With the flowers just beginning to bloom, the gardens offered a vibrant and intimate backdrop, making us feel like we were exploring The Shire.
Whimsical Spring Engagement Photography at the John Hay Estate at The Fells with Kelly & Patrick
I recently had the absolute pleasure of capturing Kelly and Patrick's playful and whimsical engagement session at the stunning John Hay Estate at The Fells in Newbury, New Hampshire. It was a perfect spring day, filled with laughter, genuine emotions, and even a little impromptu dance in the rain! As a photographer who blends documentary and editorial styles, my goal is always to create a space where couples can play off each other and letting their true personalities shine through. The gardens at The Fells were an absolute dream photography location, boasting incredible spring flowers in full bloom, offering a vibrant and picturesque backdrop for their authentic smiles and joyful connection.
She Said YES! | Carol and Connor’s Gorgeous Proposal at Nubble Lighthouse
There's something incredibly special about photographing a surprise proposal, especially when it unfolds against an iconic backdrop, like the famous Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine.

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.
