Steff & Julia’s Engagement Session Independence Park in Beverly, MA

Steff and Julia were one of the sweetest couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with! They are both from the New England area and found each other while working on a farm together. Steff now works as a videographer and Beverly is a librarian. They settled down in Beverly together a few months ago and got engaged. They each proposed to each other with a ring, which is something I absolutely adore! 

Steff and Julia wanted to shoot their engagement session at the actual place where they got engaged, at Independence Park in Beverly, MA. I was extremely excited about this since I love it when couples share special places with me! We walked along the beach and down the pier to capture some beautiful seaside shots, where Julia originally proposed to Steff. We had a great time getting some lovely portraits, and got to know each other as we wandered around their neighborhood in search of the best photo backdrops. 

Afterward, we headed over to the nearby Central Cemetery, where Steff had given Julia her engagement ring. Although cemeteries don’t always seem to be the first choice of a photoshoot location, Central Cemetery actually had some lovely backdrops where we got beautiful images! I was touched that Steff and Julia shared these special places with me for their engagement session. The cherry on top was the gazebo we chanced upon on the way back to the car, which I just had to get a photo of them under! Check out the images from our shoot below!

I am so excited to capture Steff and Julia’s legal ceremony this December in Beverly, MA, and their wedding celebration next June in Portland, ME! These two are so sweet and friendly and I had the best experience with them. I can’t wait to see them tie the knot very soon with their friends and families!
