New York, New York | I absolutely love when couples are down for a sunrise session, so when Colleen and Dylan agreed to an early morning in Central Park I couldn’t have been more excited! Is it an early wakeup call? Totally. But does it also give you basically private access to some of the…
Jill Sahner
Fall Princeton University Engagement
Princeton, New Jersey | So many of my couples find me online via Instagram, but Brianne and Scott were actually at a wedding that I shot in September! In fact, Scott was a groomsman, and he sent me an email when he and Brianne began planning their wedding. I was so excited when Brianne and…

West Village NYC Engagement
New York, New York | It was so much fun working with Christina and Tim again, this time in the West Village — and I say “this time” because the last time I saw them both, I was shooting their proposal in a snow-covered Central Park! While very different conditions, both sessions were so incredibly…
Downtown Portsmouth New Hampshire Engagement
Portsmouth, New Hampshire | It is always SO much fun shooting a friend’s engagement session! I went to college with Delaney, but we actually met totally by chance before that.

Rainy Central Park Engagement
New York, New York | I often have clients ask me, “Jill, what happens if it rains on the day of our engagement session?” And I usually say, “We will be checking the forecast in the days leading up, and if it looks iffy we will reschedule!” Well, when the forecast is back and forth…
