After what felt like weeks of playing weather roulette, the skies finally cleared—and just in time for Megan & Katherine’s engagement session at Winter Island Park in Salem. And let me tell you, it couldn’t have turned out more beautifully.

This wasn’t just any location. Winter Island holds a special place in their hearts—it’s where they got engaged! Coming back here for their engagement photos made everything feel full circle, and that added layer of meaning gave the entire evening such a heartfelt, intimate vibe. It was more than just a pretty backdrop—it was the place their forever officially began.

And speaking of pretty backdrops… we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect summer evening. The salty breeze, the soft glow of the sunset behind a few drifting clouds, sailboats cruising past in the distance—it felt like we had stepped into a scene from a movie. The sand was warm, the water calm, and the park was blissfully quiet, like it was saving this moment just for the two of them.

Megan and Katherine were such a joy to photograph. Effortless, affectionate, and so completely in sync with each other. They were barefoot in the sand, laughing, twirling, and just enjoying the moment. There’s something about couples who are fully themselves that makes every shot come to life—and these two were exactly that. You can feel the love between them in every frame.

Sessions like this are the heart of what I love about photography. It's not just about capturing a sunset or a location—it's about preserving the emotion of the moment. The stories behind the smiles, the places that hold meaning, the connections that speak louder than words.

I’m already counting down the days until their wedding day. If it’s anything like their engagement session, it’s going to be full of love, laughter, and memories that last a lifetime. 💕
