Stunning Photo Sessions Of Love - It's Engagement Photo Season With Megan and Kenneth Photoraphers (Partner Post)

Can a moment that is shared between two people only - the moment when two people agree to be engaged and follow the path of marriage - be shared and translated into dozens of moments of love and adoration in a photo session? Yes.

Here in Beacon, set against the backdrops of nature and landmark structures, Megan and Kenneth Photographers have set the scene - many scenes - where couples can explore each other throughout the photo session to get comfortable with each other in front of a camera - an act that is usually not common during such intimate moments.

Megan and Kenneth Photographers have done it. As you’ll see in these 3 photos sessions ALBB picked from dozens of other beautiful couples sharing their love for the camera, and eventually, for their family, friends and eternal photo albums.

Travel down the photo session with the couples, and you will see how their inhibitions melt away over time as they explore poses and each other. Photo sessions like this can before any couple - not just engagements.

Maybe you’ve envisioned your love while down at Scenic Hudson’s Long Dock Park, while embracing feelings of getting lost on a long traveled path.

Feelings can be captured that show the relationship in this stage, and again in later stages years later.
