Y’all know I love to travel, but when Sadie and Jon said they wanted to tell their story right here in Portsmouth, NH, I was so excited! As a New Hampshire wedding and elopement photographer, there is something special about getting to hang out and celebrate with local couples. Let me introduce you to Sadie and Jon through the lens of their unique engagement photos that will leave you wanting to book a library engagement photoshoot ASAP.
Portsmouth, NH has so many nooks and crannies hidden throughout downtown – it truly is a beautiful, charming location to capture engagement photos, no matter where you end up! For Sadie and Jon, our adventure started out at their cozy home, where they shared a beer in their kitchen – something that they always do together. From there, we took a short walk into downtown for the remainder of their engagement shoot.
Here are a few other ideas to consider when booking an engagement photoshoot in Portsmouth, NH:
From their apartment, we wandered around downtown Portsmouth. Our first stop was the local library, a quiet gem filled with books and cozy corners. Jon and Sadie were in their element, exploring the shelves, sippin’ on an espresso martini, and stealing kisses among the stories that intriqued them.
These unique ideas aren’t just about pretty pictures—they’re about capturing memories that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. When you look back at these photos, you should see your journey together—the laughter, the little things that make your relationship special. I am so glad that Sadie and Jon chose to do something during their engagement shoot that represented the playfulness, and sincere love that they have for each other.
This may be a hot take, but I wholeheartedly stand by this. I think our society has lost the true meaning of documenting engagement photos. They’re not about following trends or getting the perfect “instagram” shot or the replica photo from your Pinterest board. They’re about celebrating who you are as a couple—your quirks, your passions, the things that make your bond unique.
Sadie and Jon understood the assignment. They reminded me of why I love documenting engagement shoots. Engagement photos can be whatever speaks to you. It’s about creating memories that reflect your love story, whether it’s sharing a beer in your cozy downtown home, catching those little glances and laughs or just being yourself in front of the camera. These are the moments that you want to freeze in time, not the forced, posed moments that mean nothing to you.
