I absolutely love when couples bring a unique theme or personal touch to their engagement sessions! Your engagement photos should be a reflection of you—your personalities, your love story, and the things that make your relationship special. That’s why I always encourage couples to think outside the box and choose a location or theme that truly fits their style.
Some of my favorite engagement sessions have incorporated fun and meaningful elements, like cozy coffee shop dates, retro gaming arcades, sentimental family properties, and even skateboarding sessions. These little details make your session feel more authentic and create images that feel like you—not just posed photos, but moments that tell your story.
In this blog post, I’m so excited to share Taylor and Ty’s speakeasy-themed engagement session in downtown Lexington, KY! This location was absolutely perfect for them, and I could not be more obsessed with how their photos turned out. The intimate, moody lighting, vintage-inspired décor, and sultry, romantic atmosphere made for the dreamiest backdrop. It felt like stepping back in time to a hidden, 1920s-style bar—so unique and elegant!
Taylor and Ty fully embraced the vibe, dressing to match the aesthetic with classy, sophisticated outfits that fit the speakeasy setting perfectly. The dimly lit bar, plush velvet seating, and warm, golden lighting gave their photos such a cinematic feel. Every shot told a story of romance, mystery, and timeless love.
This session is the perfect example of how choosing a meaningful, well-thought-out location can completely transform your engagement photos. Whether it’s a place that holds sentimental value or a setting that simply speaks to your style, making your session personal ensures your photos are truly one of a kind!
