Recently, Taylor Harrington contacted me about photographing when he proposed to his girlfriend. I absolutely love capturing proposal photos. They are so filled with love and emotion, and I get to witness a little piece of history, the moment that two people agree to get married. It always gives me goosebumps!
Weather doesn’t always do what you want it to, but Taylor trusted me to find the right place. Whenever you have a once-in-a-lifetime event, you want it to go smoothly, and you want the photos to be amazing! However, I know that no matter where we take photos, it’s the connection between people that matters most.
As a photographer who works on location rather than in a studio setting, I work in less-than-ideal situations WAY more than I work in “perfect lighting” and “perfect weather” conditions. But, I’ll tell you a secret: I love that! I love the way finding the right light and the right location challenges my brain and my creativity. Put me in a place where I have to figure it out, and I thrive.
For Taylor's proposal in the Hamptons, he chose to have the proposal in the charming and quaint Reform House in Amagansett - East Hamptons NY.
This amazing private home called 21 House provided just what we needed. A beautiful property filled with cozy nooks and lots of contemporary art and furnishings, as well as fully appointed cottages and suites, are set on the sprawling grounds of The Reform Club. I found myself dreaming of bringing my family here in the summer to rent one of their lovely rooms and relax!
The staff could not have been more accommodating once we described what we wanted to use their property for photos; it’s hard to say no to two people in love! Whenever I photograph on private property, I am always very respectful, but they made us feel like welcomed guests, which really added to the mood.
No matter what kind of photos I am doing for my clients, my goal is to show the deep connection and the emotion between them. The place that we do the photos may be special to you, or it may be a random place that we found to do photos because Mother Nature wasn’t playing nice that day. Either way, my goal is the same; to produce AMAZING photos for you that you will love.
You don’t need to worry about the photos’ technical aspects; I come fully prepared for any kind of light, any kind of circumstance. I have all the right lighting and gear, and my trained photographic eye will find all the best spots for photos! All you have to do is relax, be yourselves and trust me to help you have a wonderful experience having your photos made.
I can’t thank the staff at the Reform Club enough for their gracious hospitality and being a part of the story of Taylor Harrington's proposal! If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay or to have an event in the Hamptons, I cannot recommend them enough.
If you’re planning a proposal and want this historic event documented, I would love to talk to you more! I’m happy to help with ideas and locations. Contact me, and let’s talk more about your vision!
