Choosing a Sentimental Location for your Portrait Sessions / Jill and Seth's engagement

One of the most special things about planning an engagement session is choosing a location that is meaningful. I’ve had clients request a particular location because it’s where they first met, or became engaged. Others have fond memories of a location because it was a family vacation spot in their childhood. Whatever the reason, capturing new memories in a spot that already holds special meaning can take a portrait session experience to the next level.

Jill and Seth’s engagement session captured the best of Rockport, MA; it’s a special location to them as they often stay at a beach house on Long Beach. We started at Bearskin Neck, where we found the dreamiest light on the docks. Then, we quickly stopped at some of Bearskin Neck’s most iconic spots, like Motif #1 and the classic Ice Cream Store. We made sure to leave enough time to catch the sunset over at Long Beach, capping off a perfect night in Rockport, MA.

Shane & Kelsey | Northshore MA engagement

I have to say, I really love beach sessions. But after this fall season and all the amazing clients I've had and darling images we've created together (just you wait and see--they are ALL lined up on my blogging queue!), I think that I might love fall sessions just as much!  When you scroll through the images below, I'm sure you'll see why! That golden light! The rich jewel tones of the foliage!  That cozy, plaid, scarf outfit coordination! And the super-moon!

Kelsey and Shane contacted me after I photographed Kelsey's sister a couple years back.  They had recently gotten engaged and were excited to capture this exciting time. They even paid special homage to their Gram, who would have surely teased Shane for taking so long to pop the question! Ha!

I hope you enjoy some of my favorite images from Kelsey and Shane's engagement session. Leave them some love in the comments section below xo
