Zoe & Adam Couples Session

I had the best time photographing Zoe & Adam for their in-home couples session. I met Zoe during my time at Anthropologie. It took a little bit for us to befriend one another, but once we did we hit it off. During the months of building my brand, I found out Zoe was married. She had shown me a wedding portrait of her and Adam on their wedding day in Virginia. The first thing that came to mind was how perfect they would be for an adventurous couples session. I definitely had to get these 2 in front of my lens!

We chose the first Sunday in December at Central Park … but mother nature had other plans. After a quick chat, we agreed to shoot in their cozy apartment on the Upper East side. When I stepped into their apartment, it was everything that I envisioned for their couples session. Beautiful vintage furniture, 2 excited pups, holiday spirit, and so much love.

The first thing that popped out to me was their wall decor. They have a variety of art canvases displayed around their living room. However, a large white canvas with black script font that said I love you in sentences going down the canvas was hung right above their love seat. Ironic isn’t it?

I knew there was a story to tell when I read the last sentence that said, “I love you, Zoe… will you marry me?”

Adam proposed to Zoe in a beautiful Botanical Garden back home in Virginia. He had the canvas set up while soft music played in the background. If that doesn’t scream true love, then I don’t know what does lol.

Zoe and Adam’s love is an inspiration to me & all the other romantics sitting out there reading this blog right now… I feel ya girl. Their love for one another shown so bright threw every photo. They were playful, silly, and one with each other.

I was captivated while capturing these vulnerable moments. It was a blast making these memories with them. I told them to be themselves and everything else will fall into place. We joked, we laughed and had intriguing conversations. Their pups Louie & Girl were cherries on top!

I’ll share a little secret with ya’ll, Louie was in the photos with Zoe & Adam on their love seat, but he wedged between them and cuddled up into a ball, therefore you can’t see him lol but it was still the cutest thing ever.

Would you believe that these two thought they would be awkward to photograph … I beg to differ. While I was editing them, I got teary-eyed (that’s no joke).
