Sunrise Engagement Session at Nobska Lighthouse, Cape Cod
There’s something undeniably magical about watching the sunrise by the water – and Jillyan & Anthony knew exactly what they were doing when they planned their engagement session at Nobska Lighthouse in Falmouth, Cape Cod.
They woke up before the sun on a crisp November morning, bundled up and ready to celebrate this season of their life. The air was chilly, but the light? Absolutely worth it. We had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel peaceful, intimate, and even more romantic.
From the moment they arrived, I could tell these two were going to be such a joy to photograph. Their energy was relaxed and playful, and they leaned into every moment – from snuggling under the glow of the lighthouse to walking hand in hand down to the beach, which (side note) is such a hidden gem right across from the lighthouse.
Why Nobska Lighthouse Is a Dream Engagement Location
Located in Woods Hole (part of the town of Falmouth), Nobska Lighthouse offers panoramic views of Vineyard Sound, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Elizabeth Islands. It’s a spot that combines New England charm with natural beauty – and it photographs beautifully in every season.
Whether you’re planning an engagement session, anniversary session, or even a small elopement, this location is always high on my list. The surrounding area is also worth exploring – after your session, you can visit the nearby Woods Hole village for coffee or brunch, stroll along Surf Drive Beach, or hop on a ferry to Martha’s Vineyard if you’re making a full day of it.
Planning Your Own Cape Cod Engagement Session

The soft morning light, the peaceful atmosphere, and the chance to have such an iconic spot all to yourselves? It makes for a truly unforgettable experience – and images you’ll love for a lifetime.
