My Top Ten Best Locations for Engagement Sessions in NH & MA

What do I look for in a location for an awesome engagement shoot in New Hampshire and Massachusetts?

I would have to say the two most important things are light and variety.  I look for spots that have rock walls, benches, water, gardens – and some of these even have a grunge element to them that I love.   And light . . . does it have areas of filtered light, back lighting, diffused lighting?  It doesn’t matter if it’s a city scene engagement session, or ocean/beach or in a beautiful park.  As long as my couples bring their sense of adventure and are ready to channel their romantic and playful side I am one happy New England wedding photographer.   

By the way, I’ve shared by favorites, but I have to be honest . . . I didn’t share them all – I save those for my clients.  If you’d like more information about booking your wedding with me, click here and let’s set up a chat.
