A Wallkill Winter Engagement Session in the Shawangunk Mountains

I've had the privilege of being friends with these two for a while now-

When he first asked me to take engagement photos of them, he hadn't even proposed yet! That amazing yellow diamond was ordered, but not on her finger yet.

But the evening before this session, it became official. 

It's been so fun to be in on the surprise, and to document their love story with breathtakingly beautiful photographs of the day after she said "yes!!!'

They met when they started working together in Wallkill ... He had been living there for a few years, she had moved into the area and started volunteering as a part time commuter.

He is from Hawaii, she is from the western US, and their friendship sparked and turned into love here in upstate NY.

We stayed within five miles of where they first met for these photos.

 When I saw the way the light was hitting the Shawangunk mountains, it felt like we had traveled to the Rocky Mountains for a destination engagement session.

Another mile up a dirt road near the lake, and it looked like Yosemite-

​And back at our place with a studio set up, we created some soft romantic portraits.

Inside or out, west coast or east or an island in the Pacific-no matter where these two end up- together, they are home.
