Sag Harbor Engagement Session – Bryan & Julia

Last month we had the pleasure of shooting a beautiful wedding in the Hamptons. We flew into New York and met up with Bryan & Julia in Sag Harbor, one of the coolest towns we’ve been to in a while! Sag Harbor has a little bit of that “New England” feel to it and seemed like a great community. We didn’t have long to to spend with Bryan & Julia for their engagement session, because they were headed back to the Hamptons for a clam bake on the beach with their friends and family.  However, we did manage to spend a little time exploring Sag Harbor and found some great spots to shoot. Here are a few of our favorite shots from our session. We loved working with Bryan & Julia…they are such a great couple!

The next two shots had both of us cracking up! I mentioned to Bryan that I was loving the “Symmetry” of the bridge in these shots so he proceeded to help out with some fun poses. Loved them!
