Morgan & Dereck

Engagement Photoshoot | Albany, NY | Upstate New York

I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much! This photoshoot was a much needed break for me!

From the moment Morgan and Derek arrived for their engagement session, I knew this was going to be a fun day. They both arrived in high spirits and immediately told me, “We are down for anything,” which is honestly music to any wedding photographer’s ears! My eyes were immediately drawn to Morgan’s beautiful dress, which was the exact shade of green as the trees that surrounded us. Her beige Chelsea boots, paired with Derek’s pale blue attire, created a gorgeous range of earthy tones that couldn’t have been easier to photograph!

As soon as we started shooting, their humor began shining through. It usually takes 15–20 minutes for a couple to warm up to the camera, but these two were comfortable immediately! Morgan and Derek were unapologetically themselves with every click of the shutter. Love is so dynamic – not only in terms of romance, but also in personalities – and this couple is definitely compatible!

As the session went on, I think I captured some of the best laughing candids I have ever taken. While walking together, Morgan and Derek could barely hold it together—they were laughing so much! At one point, Morgan, in her platform boots, almost took a spill. The hour flew by so quickly you almost wish the engagement session had lasted longer. In the short time I spent with Morgan and Derek, I could tell these two know each other like the backs of their hands—through their jokes, their body language, and the way they can instantly tell how the other is feeling.

I know for a fact that their wedding day will be filled with joy and laughter! Thank you for the fun time, Morgan and Derek – can’t wait to capture your wedding photos on your big day!
