Engagement
The beginning of your story, before the big day.
Engagement sessions are one of my favorite ways to get to know a couple. I photograph engagements across New York City, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania — a city street at golden hour, a favorite trail, or the spot where you had your first date.
I'm drawn to the candid moments: a glance between the two of you, the laugh after a joke, the quiet second before a kiss. I'll guide you through a few relaxed, composed portraits and capture everything in between. Every session starts with a 15-minute planning consult to choose the place and the feel, and you'll receive 100 edited images in a private online gallery.
If a wedding is on the horizon, it's also a low-pressure way to get comfortable in front of the camera.

Frequently asked questions
Where should we take our engagement photos?
Wherever feels most like you two — a favorite neighborhood, a scenic outdoor spot, or somewhere meaningful to your relationship. We'll talk through location ideas together.
What should we wear?
Coordinated (not matchy-matchy) tones that feel like you both. Download our free What to Wear guide for engagement sessions for more detailed suggestions.
Do you also photograph weddings?
