Massachusetts Couples Photographer - Newport Engagement Photographer
Your connection paired with easy direction.
You don't need to "know what you're doing". I've got you. I'll guide you just enough so you're never wondering what to do with your hands, but not so much that the whole thing feels staged. Being photographed is supposed to be enjoyable, not overwhelming. Whether it's a surprise proposal on the beach, a just-because session, or you're celebrating your engagement, your final gallery will look the way the moment felt.
"You made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and took some amazing pictures that we will have for the rest of our lives."
Amber & Matt - newport Rhode Island surprise proposal
my goal is to capture photos that feel natural, joyful, and completely true to you.
Couples sessions can look different for everyone, and that's what makes them so fun to photograph. Your session is designed to feel personal and meaningful, no matter the occasion. You could wander a coastal location at sunset, explore the new local city spot, visit the place where you had your first date, it's truly up to you.

You've made it this far, it's time to get in touch!
I am so excited you are interested in having me as your couples/engagement photographer! The easiest way to get in contact with me is to fill out this inquiry form. All messages are responded to within two business days.
I currently photograph surprise proposals, engagements, anniversary sessions, and couples sessions throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and I am always happy to travel to your dream destination. From beaches in Newport to quiet coastal spots along the South Coast or charming city streets in Boston, we’ll choose a location that fits your story and the vibe you want for your photos. Please don't wait to reach out and get your date secured with me! Dates are limited in the spring and fall, it is always best to inquire sooner rather than later to secure your desired date.
"She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful all throughout the process."
"Emma photographed my engagement and did a phenomenal job! She met with me in advance - at the location of the proposal - and consulted with me on the best precise location given the time of day/lighting/background etc. Most importantly, her photos were absolutely stunning - my fiancé and I have an incredible set of images to memorialize this special moment in our lives, and we couldn't have done it without Emma. I can't recommend her strongly enough!"
