Sessions & stories

The best engagement photos don't look like photos. They look like a very good date: the places you two actually go, the hour the light is kindest, and room for whatever the evening decides. The plan is a small story. The rest improvises.

A train streaking past the platform at Union Station while a couple stand still together beside the sign
The city

Skylines, side streets, the platform just before the train comes. The city you share is the truest backdrop there is, and it never needs a permit to look like itself.

A couple kissing against the railing of a waterfront promenade, the towers of lower Manhattan going gold behind them
Seen through overhanging leaves, a couple at an iron railing above the water with the bridge and the skyline beyond
The Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, a crowd of onlookers along the promenade in silhouette
A couple from behind at the water's edge, holding hands and looking out toward the Statue of Liberty
A couple in sunglasses outside a Chinatown restaurant, sharing a small red takeout box under the neon Open sign
A Chinatown storefront at night, warm light spilling from the doorway, a car streaking past in the foreground
A couple walking hand in hand through a long vaulted stone arcade under hanging lamps
From above, a couple standing still on a Metro platform while the evening crowd blurs past them
Two figures running hand in hand out of a bridge underpass into low sun, long shadows across the pavers
The museums

Washington's marble was built for this: quiet halls, tall light, and room to be unhurried. A museum session feels like wandering, because mostly it is.

A couple silhouetted in a tall arched museum window with cherry blossom glowing pink outside it
A couple lying back along a gallery bench, the woman laughing straight at the camera, gilt frames on the wall above
A man lifting his partner off her feet in a sculpture hall, marble checkerboard floor underneath
Looking straight down a curving stone staircase as a couple run up it, both blurred by the movement
A couple walking past Monet's Japanese footbridge, motion blurred, their hands almost touching
A couple holding hands across two armchairs in a museum lounge, a full length portrait on the wall behind them
A couple leaning into each other on a wooden bench in front of a landscape painting
A pale marble stairwell with a bronze figure on its plinth, a woman in white on the landing and her partner on the steps above
Date night

Skip the field at sunset if that isn't you. Book the diner booth, the record bins, the back row of the movies: the date you'd be having anyway, photographed like it matters. Because it does.

In a cafe with every inch of wall pinned with notes and photographs, two people hiding behind an enormous cookie held up between their faces
A couple laughing across the table of a diner booth, the walls behind them covered in framed pictures
In a record shop, one of them holds an album sleeve up over their face while the other leans in behind the crates
A wood panelled bar, a couple clinking glasses in a booth beneath a lit painting of sailboats
A couple in cinema seats with two boxes of popcorn, both mid laugh
Foreheads together in the red velvet seats of a dark cinema, lit only by the screen
Late sun through a curtained window throwing a starburst across a panelled room, a man in an armchair looking up at his partner
Close in at a party, a woman in pearls looking straight down the lens with a pink heart drawn in neon light hanging between her and her partner
A couple kissing against a white tiled wall, her black lace sleeves catching the flash
A dim wallpapered room lit by a single lamp, the couple leaning together into its glow
Cropped low at an outdoor cafe table: jeans, a boot hooked over the other chair, two red coffee cups on the tabletop above
A red awninged coffee roaster seen from across the sidewalk, the couple at a small table out front in striped folding chairs
A couple close together on a bench in a dark room, lit only by the glow of a video projection on the wall
Black and white and deliberately smeared, hands and glasses dissolving into a long exposure
Two hands resting on a dark table in near darkness, one arm tattooed, a ring catching the last of the light
Golden hour

And when the field at sunset is you: the park at seven, the grass still warm, the light doing most of the talking. Bring the outfit you almost didn't dare to.

A woman laughing on a garden bench with her partner stretched back across her lap, roses behind them
A man with a hand at his partner's cheek among flowering shrubs, the trees behind them turning gold
Black and white: a long ivy grown wall running away down a path, the couple small at the foot of it under the trees
Nose to nose at sunset, the sun burning through the narrow gap between their faces
Two figures in a tight embrace framed by a dark stone archway, one lantern hanging above them
The question

Proposals are photographed from a quiet distance, until the yes. The hands still shake a little. Keep that.

One of them down on a knee in the winter woods holding out the ring, the other with a hand at her chest
She kisses his cheek while he grins at the camera, bare branches behind them
Over his shoulder, she turns back toward him across a dark field with the sun going down behind the treeline
He leans over her as she lies back laughing along a stone ledge above the garden path
On the rocks above the river, the two of them wrapped up in each other's coats and laughing
A couple walking arm in arm down a long gravel path under an avenue of trees
At home

It can also just be a Tuesday, on the window seat, with the good coffee.

Cross legged on the cushion of a bay window, foreheads together, hands held between them
The practical

Sessions run an hour to ninety minutes, or two hours if you'd rather not rush. As many locations as the time allows, always timed to the light. Galleries arrive within three to four weeks, depending on the season. Outfit changes welcome. Dogs strongly encouraged.
