Coopers Beach in Southampton has always been one of my favorite places to photograph couples. As a Long Island native, I always loved any opportunity to head out East during the summer, and this engagement session was everything I had hoped for.

Bill is actually a friend from high school, so when he reached out about photographing his engagement session, I was genuinely excited. From the moment we stepped onto the beach, the connection and energy between him and Kerri made my job effortless. Their laughter, chemistry, and genuine affection for each other came through in every photograph.

This location also held a special place in Bill’s heart. He spent many summers visiting his grandfather and making memories on this beach, making it the perfect backdrop for such an important milestone in their lives.

A few weeks after this session, I had the privilege of photographing their wedding at a beautiful local winery. It was an incredible day, and it was such an honor to document both their engagement and wedding as they began this exciting new chapter together.
