Why Planting Fields is Perfect for an Engagement Session


There’s something about Planting Fields Arboretum that instantly makes everything feel elevated.The light feels softer. The greenery feels richer. The air feels quieter — like the world slows down for a second so you can actually be in the moment.

A Garden That Feels Like a European Escape (But It’s Long Island)

Planting Fields doesn’t look like a “park.”It feels like a curated estate — where every pathway, every tree, every open lawn was designed to look timeless on camera.

It’s the kind of place where:

  • your photos look like they belong in a magazine

  • your outfits suddenly feel more couture

  • even a simple hand-hold turns into a moment

The entire session becomes a story — not just a set of pictures.

The Editorial Approach (No Awkward Posing, Promise)

If you’ve ever thought:“We’re not models… what do we do?”You’re not alone.

My engagement sessions are designed to feel relaxed and effortless — with guidance that keeps everything looking elevated but still natural.

Think:✨ movement over stiffness✨ laughter over pressure✨ connection over “perfect”

We’ll walk, pause, breathe, let the moment happen — and then we capture it in a way that feels cinematic, romantic, and editorial.




What to Wear for a Planting Fields Engagement Session

Planting Fields is luxury, so your outfits can lean into that vibe.This is where neutrals, textures, and timeless silhouettes look expensive in the best way.

My favorite outfit direction:

  • whites, creams, beige, soft blush

  • satin, silk, structured fabrics

  • clean lines, minimal jewelry

  • one “wow” piece (a veil, gloves, a statement coat, a bouquet)

Pro tip:If you want your gallery to feel like a fashion story, bring two looks:

  1. classic + elegant

  2. modern + editorial

It instantly makes your session feel like a full feature.



Why This Location Photographs So Beautifully

Planting Fields has the perfect mix of:

  • romantic greenery

  • open light

  • elegant scenery

  • quiet corners

  • editorial depth

Every angle gives something different — so your gallery feels like it was shot across multiple locations, even though we stayed in one place.

It’s one of my favorite spots for couples who want images that feel:timeless, elevated, and undeniably romantic.
