When Bethany and Brady chose East Beach in Rhode Island for their engagement session, I initially thought it might be too chilly for a beach session in October. But we lucked out with such a beautiful day! The crisp autumn air was refreshing, and the beach gave us the most stunning backdrop—proving once again that the ocean is breathtaking in every season.

East Beach is one of my favorite locations for a reason. The water here is unbelievably gorgeous, with crystal-clear blue and teal tones that made every shot look like a dream. Add in the incredible clouds we had that day, and the entire session felt like something out of a romance movie.

Bethany and Brady were such a joy to photograph. Their love for each other is so natural and easygoing—it was effortless to capture their connection. Bethany chose two perfect outfits for the day: a cozy sweater with jeans for a comfy, casual vibe and a flowy dress with a cardigan for a touch of elegance. Both looks fit the beach setting beautifully, and she looked absolutely stunning next to Brady.

We explored the shoreline, playing with the light and scenery to create some truly magical moments. Whether they were walking along the water’s edge, laughing together in the sand, or sharing a quiet embrace with the waves in the background, every moment felt authentic and full of love. I’m so grateful to have captured this special time in their lives, and I know their love story is just beginning. Bethany and Brady, thank you for letting me be a part of it—I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you two! If you’re thinking about a fall beach session but are worried about the weather, take this as your sign—it’s 100% worth it! East Beach in October gave us the most beautiful scenery, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
