An engagement session does much more than provide a few photos for save-the-dates or social media. It helps us build trust before the wedding day. It helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Most importantly, it captures a season of life that passes incredibly quickly.

New England weather keeps us on our toes, and that’s exactly what made Liv and Rich’s Newport RI engagement session at Sachuest Point and Third Beach so special.

Lizzie and Jack’s Little Compton engagement session felt like a perfect reflection of summer along the Rhode Island coast. The shoot captured their story in a way that felt just as meaningful.

Located just off the coast of Newport and Jamestown, Rose Island rests in the heart of Narragansett Bay. From its shoreline, you can see the span of the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge, sailboats weaving through Newport Harbor, and Goat Island just across the water. It’s close to everything that makes coastal Rhode Island iconic, yet stepping off the boat feels like entering another world.

I get asked all the time, what’s your favorite location to photograph Rhode Island engagement sessions? And my first answer is always…where the couple has a place of belonging or nostalgia – their home, a first date location, a beach they visit every year on vacation, a favorite coffee shop, etc. If you are not […]
