Nantucket Style Engagement

In the picturesque setting of Alabama’s lakesides, this Nantucket style engagement with Baylee and Will captures a blend of timeless romance infused with a distinct Nantucket vibe, setting it apart from the typical Southern engagement shoots. Baylee had a clear vision for her engagement session—something uniquely hers, yet undeniably timeless. With exclusive access to a private lakeside, the setting was just perfect to bring her vision to life. The tranquil waters and lush surroundings served as the ideal backdrop for a shoot that promised something out of the ordinary!

Our vision for the shoot was timeless romance meets a Nantucket vibe. Being in Alabama, shoots can often look the same. My bride, Baylee, wanted a unique spin to her shoot. Having private lakeside access she knew she could accomplish her vision. We spent time on their antique speed boat and danced on the dock by the classic striped umbrellas. My goal was to keep the shoot relaxed allowing Baylee and Will to enjoy each others company and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Starting their shoot with a simple yet elegant white halter top from Club Monaco and a flowy skirt by Victoria Beckham that complements the serene lakeside setting, pairing it with minimal accessories and letting her natural beauty shine. The soft, flowing fabric of the dress enhances the romantic feel of the shoot. In the second set, her look shifts to casual with light-wash jeans and a cozy, cream sweater. This outfit adds a relaxed and playful element to the session, while still maintaining a stylish, timeless feel. Her look overall is classic, understated, and effortlessly feminine. -Abby Bates Photography Photographer / Abby Bates Photography / www.abbybatesphotography.com / @abbybatesphotography
