Couple hug portrait Mabie House garden

Day light nearly gone, don't worry Derek is here. Get his lighting gear to make you stand out when the light is nearly gone. Just a hug in the garden, soft green light all around. My couple sessions are built from simple moves like this — hold each other, have a blether, laugh at my patter — because simple is what real affection actually looks like. No dipping, no staring meaningfully into the middle distance. The gardens at Mabie House wrap a couple in green from every angle, which gives these frames their soft, glowing backgrounds. Ten minutes, a handful of gentle prompts, and a set of portraits that feel like you on your happiest day. That's the whole recipe. It doesn't need more.
