I had a wonderful time photographing this newly engaged couple, Jessica + Ted outside their home in Shippan. They have access to a dock and we had some gorgeous golden light that peaked through that made for beautiful portraits! I wear a mask for all of my sessions since the pandemic hit when I started shooting again in late June. I also keep a 6ft+ distance when helping to pose my subjects, which is hard for me as I’m usually much more hands-on. What has helped me during this pandemic is using the app, Unscripted, to show my couples photos of the poses before we start shooting and I read off the prompts to get them into position. I create a shot list of poses inside the app and I also capture the natural laughs and candids in between poses which tend to be the best shots of the day.

Here are some of my favorite shots from Jessica and Ted’s engagement session. Congrats to the happy couple and wishing you all the best!
