Engagement Session at Gallery 48: Jillian & Ray

As a Rochester wedding photographer, I have the privilege of capturing love stories in all their beautiful forms. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing an engagement session with the lovely couple, Jill and Ray. We took their photos in my favorite natural light studio (I may be a little bias), Gallery 48. In this blog post, I’ll take you behind the scenes of their studio engagement session and share the magic we created together!

Studio Engagement Session at Gallery 48: A Match Made in Heaven

Gallery 48 is a photographer’s dream nestled in just outside of Rochester! It offers a serene and elegant backdrop for intimate photo sessions. With the abundant natural light and versatile spaces, it provided the perfect setting for Jill and Ray’s engagement photoshoot!

How they met, and how we met

Jill and Ray found each other in the most modern way possible – on a dating app! These two are truly a perfect match. I first met Jill and Ray at Carly and Alex’s wedding in 2022. Their infectious laughter and undeniable chemistry caught my attention! When they reached out to me to capture their own love story, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to document their journey from engagement to wedding day.

Capturing Love in Every Frame

From the moment Jill stepped into Gallery 48 wearing her stunning white dress from Lulu’s, I knew we were in for a magical session. Against the backdrop of the studio’s clean white walls and soft natural light, Jill and Ray’s love radiated effortlessly!

Jill and Ray brought their A-game to the session, showcasing their impeccable style and playful personalities. I loved being able to capture these photos that felt authentic, romantic, and timeless.
