Few places capture the blend of romance and adventure quite like Cape Cod. When Lainey and Cameron told me they wanted their engagement session to feel romantic yet adventurous, I knew the Cape’s sand dunes, serene beaches, and breathtaking sunsets would provide the perfect backdrop for their love story.
From Oklahoma to Cape Cod: A Story of Love and Adventure
With a special connection to Cape Cod through Lainey’s aunt, who lives in the area, they planned a trip to visit and thought, why not make it even more memorable with an engagement session? And I’m so glad they did and hired me as their photographer.
The Vision: Romance Meets Adventure
As soon as Lainey mentioned their love for adventure and her idea of jumping into the water for some dramatic photos, I was all in. We mapped out a session that would embrace the Cape’s natural beauty while reflecting their playful and daring personalities. Cape Cod, with its golden dunes and endless ocean views, is the perfect canvas for a love story filled with joyful spontaneity and quiet intimacy.
Starting Their Dreamy Cape Cod Engagement Session at The Dunes
We began the session in the rolling sand dunes in Provincetown. Lainey wore a flowing blue dress that caught the soft evening breeze beautifully, while Cameron’s relaxed, casual attire complemented her look perfectly. As they laughed, twirled, and stole glances at each other, the dunes felt like their own private escape.
These moments reminded me of why I adore photographing in Cape Cod. The dunes not only offer a dramatic and natural setting but also encourage couples to let loose and connect with their surroundings—something Lainey and Cameron did effortlessly. Pro Tip: For anyone considering a session here, the dunes are best visited during early morning or late afternoon, for that soft glow.
Sunset by the Water
As the sun began its descent, we made our way to Herring Cove Beach. One of my favorite beaches to photograph on the Cape! The pastel skies and calm water created a dreamlike atmosphere. Lainey and Cameron popped open a bottle of champagne to toast their engagement—a little celebration just for them. The sparkle of the champagne and their laughter lit up the scene, creating moments that felt both candid and timeless.
One of my favorite shots from the evening was when they stood barefoot in the water with a sailboat drifting lazily in the background. There’s something magical about capturing love against a Cape Cod sunset—it’s as if time stands still.
A Romantic Dive Into the Adventure
To end the session, Lainey and Cameron did what adventurous souls do best—they embraced the moment fully by stepping into the ocean. With her white dress floating around her and Cameron’s arms steadying her, the photos we captured were nothing short of enchanting. The gentle waves and moonlit sky added an almost ethereal quality to these final moments.
Pro Tip: If you’re considering a water element for your session, bring a towel, a change of clothes, and an open heart. The results are worth it.
