Mary Claire & Will’s Charming Engagement Session at Turtle Point and Her Childhood Home

Mary Claire and Will’s engagement session was a beautiful blend of meaningful locations and heartfelt moments. We kicked off at Mary Claire’s childhood home, where her backyard gazebo and cozy front porch set the stage for warm, nostalgic photos, then to Turtle Point—a stunning spot perfect for natural, intimate portraits! We can’t wait for their wedding day!

A Love Story That Started on Halloween

Their story began in a delightfully fun way—with a Halloween party! Mary Claire dressed as the Blind Mice with friends, while Will came as an alien from Toy Story. That playful night sparked a connection that has blossomed beautifully ever since.

Strolling Into Their Date Night Tradition

One of their go-to date night favorites is simple yet sweet: a walk to dinner followed by ice cream. It’s a routine filled with easy conversation, laughter, and connection—the kind of partnership that feels effortless and true.

Dancing Through Life Together

Asked who’s more likely to start a spontaneous dance party, Mary Claire confessed, “Me, for sure!” Their engagement session captured not just their love but their joyful energy and playfulness, making each moment feel naturally full of life.

Lazy Sundays Full of Love

When it comes to lazy Sundays, these two love to cozy up and watch movies with food delivery arriving at just the right time. It’s a rhythm of rest and togetherness that perfectly reflects their laid-back yet loving bond.

Why We Loved This Session

From the enchanting gazebo in Mary Claire’s backyard to the welcoming charm of her front porch, this engagement session perfectly blends sentimental spaces with genuine emotion. These locations tell the story of their love and roots, creating a unique portrait experience that’s both personal and timeless.
