Engagement photography is all about more than just pretty poses and picturesque backdrops. It’s about diving into the heart of your relationship and capturing the genuine connection that makes your love story uniquely yours. Personalized engagement photography is where the magic happens—where I get to know you, your story, and your quirks so that I can create photos that truly reflect who you are as a couple. Whether we’re rekindling an old friendship or meeting for the first time, my goal is to capture you in a way that feels authentic and special!

Making Memories in NYC

Hayley and Hailey invited me to New York for their shoot, and let me tell you, it was an amazing experience filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments! I loved every second of it and couldn’t help but be swept up in the joy they radiated. Their engagement session was a perfect blend of fun and authenticity, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have been a part of it!

We began our adventure on Cornelia Street, a spot that’s close to Hayley’s heart. As a big Taylor Swift fan, she was over the moon to start their session at Taylor’s old place. The vibe was instantly incredible, and it set the tone for the rest of our day. From there, we meandered over to Olio E Più, a cozy restaurant we found wondering the streets. They love good food and drinks on date nights, so it was a must for their session!

Embracing Their Unique Love Story

One of the highlights of the day was when we sat down for a meal and played cards. BUT this wasn’t just a random activity; it’s something they cherish doing together. Capturing these moments was like stepping into their world and getting to see their playful side up close! We even moved inside to the bar for some pizza and more candid shots. The way they interacted, full of humor and affection, made for some truly special photos. (I couldn’t help but smile throughout the entire session). 

As we continued our day, we explored Washington Square Park and even took a fun ride on the subway. Despite the cloudy and chilly weather, the energy between Hayley and Hailey kept the session warm and lively. It was a bit unexpected, as the weather had been sunny the day before and after my visit, but the overcast skies added a unique charm to their photos. (Proof that any weather can do wonders for your engagement photos!)

Client Love

“ASHLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Oh my fucking goodness. These are stunning. STUNNING!!!!! I’m screaming and crying and losing my mind. Thank you so so so much for your time and energy and skill and care, we appreciate it more than I can articulate and everything you shot is beyond beyond gorgeous. Thank you again so much for making the trip out here to us for this and we CANNOT WAITTTTT for December. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to spend the next 5-10 business days minimum absolutely obsessing over these photos. Your work is a DREAM and I could not have one else capturing our love. With an insane amount of gratitude and appreciation” -Hayley Ray

Why Personalized Engagement Photography Matters

Personalized engagement photography isn’t just about getting great shots, it’s about creating a meaningful experience that truly reflects who you are as a couple. It’s about capturing the real you, the little quirks, and the everyday moments that make your love story unique! My goal is to make sure your photos don’t just look beautiful but also feel deeply personal!

Choosing to incorporate elements that are significant to your relationship adds layers of meaning to your photos. Whether it’s a favorite spot, a shared hobby, or just the way you interact with each other, these details make your session special and memorable. The best photos happen when you’re comfortable, relaxed, and having fun, so I’m here to guide you and make sure everything flows naturally!

Tips for Your Own Personalized Engagement Session

Here are a few tips to make your engagement session as personalized and meaningful as possible:

• Choose Personal Locations: Select places that hold significance for you as a couple. It could be where you first met, a favorite hangout, or even your own home.
• Include Your Favorite Activities: Incorporate activities you love doing together. Whether it’s cooking, playing games, or just hanging out at a favorite spot, it adds authenticity to your photos.
• Be Yourself: Don’t stress about posing or looking perfect. The best moments are those where you’re being yourselves, enjoying each other’s company, and letting your love shine through.
• Enjoy the Moment: Remember, this is a celebration of your relationship. Relax, have fun, and trust that I’ll be there to capture all the beautiful, spontaneous moments.
