Fuller Gardens New Hampshire Engagement

Johanna and Nick’s Fuller Gardens Engagement Session

Fall is here, and you know what that means, engagement session season is in full swing! There’s something about this time of year that makes everything feel extra magical. Maybe it’s the crisp air, the golden leaves, or just the buzzing excitement from couples planning their big day. Whatever it is, I’m here for it! And let me tell you, Johanna and Nick’s Fuller Gardens engagement session in New Hampshire was all kinds of special.

Why Engagement Sessions Matter

Engagement sessions aren’t just about pretty pictures , they’re about connection. It’s a chance for you to get comfortable in front of the camera, figure out how you vibe with your photographer (hi, that’s me!), and capture that sweet in-between phase before the wedding day chaos begins. I always tell my couples that engagement photos are like a fun, relaxed rehearsal for the big day , no pressure, just love and laughs.

That’s exactly what Johanna and Nick did. These two are tying the knot next September, but they wanted to have an engagement session first to see how we worked together. Spoiler alert: we clicked instantly. So much so that right after their session, they told me they wanted to officially book me for their wedding. Best. Feeling. Ever.

The Magic of a Fuller Gardens Engagement

If you’ve never been to Fuller Gardens in North Hampton, NH, let me paint a picture for you. It’s a dreamy, historical garden by the ocean , bursting with vibrant flowers, koi ponds, and stunning architecture. Every corner is a perfect backdrop. Even off-season, it’s breathtaking.

Johanna and Nick wanted a mix of romantic and playful photos, and Fuller Gardens delivered. We wandered through flower-lined paths, found cozy corners under the trees, and even caught the sun glowing through the gardens at just the right moment. There’s something about that golden hour light against the ocean breeze that makes everything feel extra magical.

Capturing Their Connection

From the moment we started, Johanna and Nick were all smiles. They laughed, they twirled, and they had this effortless way of being totally themselves. You could just feel how comfortable they are with each other , like they have their own little world that no one else can touch. That’s what I love most about engagement sessions , catching those raw, unscripted moments that show the heart of a relationship.

I always encourage my couples to bring their personality into their session. Want to bring your dog? Yes, please. Thinking of popping some champagne? Let’s do it. Johanna and Nick kept it simple yet heartfelt, focusing on their love and the beauty of Fuller Gardens , and the results were pure magic.

Fuller Gardens Engagement FAQ

1. Why should we book an engagement session before our wedding?

Booking an engagement session is a game-changer! It helps you get comfortable in front of the camera, lets you and your photographer (hey, that’s me!) build a connection, and gives you beautiful, relaxed photos without the pressure of the wedding day timeline. Plus, it’s a fun way to celebrate your love story before the big day.

2. What should we wear to our Fuller Gardens engagement session?

The key is to wear something that feels like you. I always suggest neutral or earthy tones that complement the garden’s natural beauty. Flowing dresses, cozy sweaters, or even a chic suit work great. Most importantly, pick outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable — when you feel good, it shows in the photos.

3. When is the best time to schedule an engagement session at Fuller Gardens?

Golden hour — that magical time just after sunrise or right before sunset — is hands down the best time for dreamy, glowing photos. Fuller Gardens is stunning in every season, but late spring through fall really highlights its vibrant flowers and lush greenery. Even off-season, the ocean views and architectural details offer beautiful backdrops.

4. Can we bring our pet to our engagement session?

Absolutely! I’m all for including your furry friends. Fuller Gardens allows leashed pets, so bring your pup along! I love capturing those sweet, candid moments with your four-legged family member.
