Kristi and Devan chose an inspired, stylish location for their Hudson Valley engagement session. Set against the large, minimalist walls of a modern building and the charming streets of downtown Beacon, NY, their beautiful connection to each other was palpable. To capture the most luminous, flattering, golden-hour light, we began photographing a couple of hours before sunset.

As a wedding photographer, there are so many reasons why I love documenting this special moment in a newly engaged couple’s lives. We build trust in order to be comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day, and I gently guide my couples into following their natural chemistry so that I’m capturing real, intimate moments. These two were radiating with beauty and love towards each other from the moment I first met them. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in Memphis, Tennessee next year!
