Planning Your Engagement Session? Let’s Talk Save-the-Dates!

When thinking ahead to your engagement session, it’s helpful to consider how these photos might play a big role in your Save-the-Date cards and wedding website.

For 2025, photo trends are all about authentic moments—images that feel like you. Whether it’s the light, a favorite hiking trail, or the coffee shop where you had your first date, these personal touches create timeless photos that stand out.

Your Save-the-Date isn’t just a quick note to your guests, it’s the first glimpse into your wedding style. Pair your engagement photos with trends like bold typography or calligraphy, watercolor venue art and hand-drawn doodles, or vintage and retro designs to create something extra.

If you’re planning ahead and want to make the most of your engagement session, check out my latest blog post for ideas on combining photo and stationery trends.

Highlights from K & J’s day at their iconic peak weekend wedding in Stowe, Vermont!

While it takes an entire team to make a wedding go smoothly, what lasts beyond one incredible day or weekend is an even more incredible love between two people. This is truly the highlight.

A very sweet engagement session visiting all the favorite spots in Boston ❤️

I am thrilled for Sami and Max and how fabulously their celebration in Maine came together for them! They were married over the summer and gathered their friends and family to celebrate with them at Foster’s for lobster and games! (Be sure to swipe through to the spread!) Such a fun night for a great couple and crew! Honored to have captured these memories for them ❤️🦞🎲✨

What a brilliant month it’s been for Maine weddings and events! I’m looking forward to traveling back to York this weekend for a post-elopement celebration, and then down to Durham for an engagement session on Sunday. You won’t hear me complain about the many trips to Maine and coastal NH this September and fall, especially as I’m tucking the family along with me to enjoy some coastal vibes in between 🦪🐚

September was slated to be my busiest month, and things wind down a little bit in October with a couple weddings, however, many portrait sessions 🍁🎃 📸

It’s hard to believe wedding season is slowing down, yet still many sparkling winter celebrations to come that I’m thrilled about! ❄️💎 👗

I’m so grateful for all my couples and families who I’ve worked with this season and still to come. My only wish is that I could say yes to everyone, and balancing my plate came more easily.

Off to wrap up edits on family sessions and the sweetest Boston engagement session! Cobblestones and cozy Beacon Hill Streets, be still, my heart ❤️

to the weekend we go!

Beyond making gorgeous images at stunning locations like this session here with Sarah and Matt at Singing Beach, we also got to chat and laugh and enjoy a bit of the summer’s end together. Loving every golden moment with these two! ☀️ 🌊

During the busy season it can be challenging to fit in engagement sessions, but I’m so grateful when I get to meet couples in person ahead of their wedding day. I’ve gone back and forth on if I should continue to travel New England for these sessions, and I keep landing on yes, because of all the fun places I get to visit. North shore, Boston, Lakes Region, Burlington, throughout Vermont, White Mountains, Downeast Maine, and here in the Upper Valley—so many great places to explore in this little corner of northern New England. Where to next?!
