Bridget & Ryan’s Playful Engagement Session: Building Comfort Before the Big Day
There’s something magical about an engagement session that truly captures a couple’s unique love story. As I’ve gotten to know Bridget and Ryan, I’ve noticed that their journey together is rooted in friendship, shared passions, and an unbreakable bond that has grown stronger over time. From their first connection over online video games to building a life together, their engagement session was about more than just beautiful photos—it was about celebrating their journey and preparing for the next big chapter.
A Love Story Built on Friendship
Bridget and Ryan’s love story began in the world of online video games, connecting through Twitch. Their friendship flourished despite the distance—Bridget in New York, Ryan in Florida—until they finally met in person a year and a half later. Even then, they continued to navigate a long-distance relationship for another year before making the big move to North Carolina together.
When Ryan proposed, it was an intimate, cozy moment at home with just the two of them and their beloved pups. Simple, heartfelt, and true to who they are as a couple.
Why An Engagement Session Matters Before the Wedding
Your engagement session is more than just a chance to capture beautiful images—it’s an opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. Bridget and Ryan’s session was a perfect example of why working together before the big day is so valuable:
Getting Comfortable | Engagement sessions are a great way to break the ice because many couples aren’t used to or comfortable being photographed professionally. By the time the wedding comes around, posing will feel more natural, and you’ll feel at ease with your photographer.
Authentic Connection | A session before the wedding ensures we capture your real personalities, which leads to more genuine and relaxed wedding day photos.
Building Trust | Having this experience ahead of time helps create trust between the couple and the photographer, making the entire wedding photography process seamless and stress-free.
Capturing Bridget & Ryan’s True Essence
Bridget and Ryan’s engagement session was all about authenticity. Their preference for a journalistic, documentary style meant no stiff poses—just real, playful moments. Their goal was to showcase their natural connection and highlight how they are truly each other’s best friends.
From sharing a beer and playing games to capturing their sweet tradition of a ‘pinky promise’ – their session was filled with so much joy and laughter. Green Gables, with its stunning outdoor setting, provided the perfect backdrop to bring their vision to life.
The Perfect Preview for the Big Day
Their engagement session not only resulted in beautiful framed prints for their home but also set the stage for a smooth and relaxed wedding day experience. By working together ahead of time, we’ve built a foundation of comfort and familiarity that will allow them to be completely in the moment on their wedding day.
Bridget and Ryan’s love is a testament to the power of friendship, patience, and deep connection. As their wedding day if fast approaching, one thing is certain—their love story will continue to unfold in the most beautiful way. I am truly honored to have been chosen to capture their love every step of the way!
