It is no secret that my husband Tom and I love all things architecture.So when we met this adorable couple, with an architect groom, we knew it was a match made on a blueprint. Hayley and John are getting married later this year in Annapolis but for their destination engagement shoot we headed north to Rhode Island.

Second only to architecture is our love for travel so we love a destination engagement shoot. We absolutely love visiting Newport, Rhode Island and will be back soon. It is impossible to not feel like you are in a Diane Keaton movie as you stroll along the beach and staring up at the stunning houses. If only I hadn’t left my perfect cream turtleneck at home!

Planning is important when planning a destination engagement photo shoot or session. Lots of research. We start with scouting the location via google maps. Then we look for any weather information available. Finally, we always look for places we can go sightseeing for context images. Read this blog post about planning a destination engagement session

We will be back near the water in September as these two tie the knot with the help of Strawberry Milk Events. And can’t wait to get these two behind the camera again.
