A Sunday Sailing Engagement on Chesapeake Bay 

A sailboat engagement shoot offers a romantic, adventurous setting, perfect for couples who love the outdoors. With serene waters, gentle breezes, and sunlight reflecting off the waves, the backdrop creates a dreamy, timeless atmosphere.

Erin and Bronson’s sailboat engagement was a dream come true. Despite never having sailed before, their shared love for adventure and picturesque settings made the idea irresistible. The couple first met in Business School at William & Mary and have been together since April 2022. Bronson proposed in Colonial Williamsburg, organizing a series of preplanned dates at their favorite spots before asking Erin to marry him. The gentle breeze, serene waves, and sunlight shimmering on the water created the perfect backdrop, with SVENJA BAUER capturing their love story in a romantic, cinematic way. Each image in their gallery feels like a scene from a timeless love story.

Crisp whites, soft blues, and lush green hues inspired every aspect of the color palette from the sailboat, to the couple’s attire, and, finally, Mother Nature’s backdrop.

THE FASHION

The couple envisioned their session to embody the idea of ‘old money meets yacht club’, but Erin and Bronson’s fun and playful attitude put a fresh spin on this classic style. Inspired by Jackie O and Ralph Lauren, every element of this engagement shoot showcased timeless elegance.

THE DETAILS

A champagne toast aboard the Therapy led to kisses and sips, clinks of glasses, and playful spills while Erin and Bronson dangled their feet above the water. Cheersing on a swaying boat while basking in the sun has its very own special appeal!

For lovers dreaming of an epic engagement: This session is meant to inspire couples looking for classic images with a luxurious ‘wow factor’.
