Josh & Allie

Ocean House, RI Proposal & Engagement Session on Film

July 17, 2026 | 35mm | Ektacolor 400 & Portra 800

On July 17th, 2026, I had the pleasure of photographing Josh & Allie’s engagement at the iconic Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. Josh had been secretly planning the proposal for a while, and I had so much fun hiding out in the bushes of the herb garden to photograph the big moment!

After the proposal, I spent a little time exploring the beautiful grounds around Ocean House for a quick engagement session on film. We started photographing around 7:00 PM, just as the evening light was beginning to soften into the start of golden hour. The warm summer light, coastal scenery, and classic yellow exterior of Ocean House made the perfect backdrop for the romantic evening.

Even though our time together was short, we were able to document the excitement immediately after their engagement, with a mix of candid moments and relaxed portraits on 35mm film. I photographed the session on Kodak Ektacolor 400 and Portra 800 to preserve the dreamy colors of a summer evening in Watch Hill.

Planning a proposal or engagement session at Ocean House, Watch Hill, or elsewhere along the Rhode Island coast? I photograph engagements, proposals, elopements, and weddings across the US on 35mm film, medium format film, Polaroid, instant film, and 3D film. Approaching your day through the lens of an artist who studied photojournalism, I combine my love for capturing candid moments with an artistic twist, creating images that feel both cinematic and genuine.If you want photos that truly reflect the energy between you and your loved one, I’d absolutely love to connect!

This gallery is currently a work in progress while Josh & Allie’s 35mm film is being developed and scanned. Check back soon to see their full Ocean House engagement session on film!
