Sag Harbor is a small village located on the eastern end of Long Island, New York. It is well known for its rich maritime history, which dates back to the 18th century. Sag Harbor is the oldest continuously operating port in the state of New York and has been used for both commercial and recreational activities since it was established.

The scenery in Sag Harbor is stunning and makes for perfect Long Island engagement photography. With coffee shops, book stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and a small beach, Sag Harbor provides so much variety for romantic and documentary-style engagement photos. The village also has a variety of historic buildings and landmarks such as the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum and the historic Old Whaler’s Church. Sag Harbor has a wide range of locations that can be used to create one-of-a-kind engagement photos.

With its cobblestone streets and colorful storefronts, Port Jefferson Village has long been a favorite for couples seeking romantic and scenic photos for their special day. The village was founded in 1795 by Thomas Jefferson and is steeped in history.

The scenery at Port Jefferson Village is simply stunning. The village center is framed by the harbor and provides some of the most beautiful vistas of Long Island Sound. The main street is lined with old-fashioned shops, cafes, and art galleries that create an enchanting atmosphere for your pictures. In addition to the quaint storefronts, you can also find several charming parks, fountains, and monuments that make for some truly unique shots. With both urban and rural settings, Port Jefferson Village has it all.

If you're looking to turn your engagement session into a date night, consider having your engagement photography done in Port Jefferson Village.

Your Home

Having an engagement photoshoot in the comfort of your own home can be a great way to capture intimate moments between you and your partner. We can take advantage of any beautiful light and shadows coming through your windows and use the beautiful home decor that you have picked out to create an engagement session so personal to you and your partner. Think home movie date nights with a pillow fort, pizza date nights, coffee on the couch, or playing with your dogs in your backyard. Your home is an incredible place to document your love story and provide a peek into what makes your relationship unique. Whether it's playing video games together, reading your favorite book side-by-side, or cuddling up on the couch, we can find creative ways to capture the everyday activities that make up your relationship.
