Cape Cod Coastal Engagement Session | Taylor & Mark

There’s something extra special about engagement sessions that feel true to the couple—and Taylor & Mark’s engagement shoot in Woods Hole and at Nobska Lighthouse was exactly that. Set against the stunning backdrop of Cape Cod’s iconic shoreline, their session was relaxed, romantic, and full of sweet moments (including a special guest—their pup, Noosa!).

From lighthouse views and jetty strolls to cozy beach moments and downtown Woods Hole charm, this engagement session had the perfect blend of classic New England scenery and casual, real-life connection.


Why Nobska Lighthouse + Woods Hole Were the Perfect Locations

Taylor & Mark chose Nobska Lighthouse in Falmouth, MA for their session—a quintessential Cape Cod location with panoramic ocean views, rocky jetties, and an unmistakable charm. We followed that with a stroll through downtown Woods Hole, capturing candid moments and relaxed photos that reflected their everyday connection and adventurous spirit.

The lighthouse gave us dramatic, wide-open coastal views, while the nearby beach and jetty added a fun, windswept, natural element. Downtown Woods Hole brought that quaint, seaside-town vibe, perfect for more laid-back shots and a change in scenery.


A Session That Felt True to Them

Taylor & Mark brought two outfits—a dressier look and a casual one—which helped create variety and kept the session feeling effortless. They wanted a balance between posed portraits and more natural, movement-driven moments—and that’s exactly what we captured.

We explored:

  • Classic couple portraits in front of Nobska Lighthouse
  • Playful, wind-in-your-hair moments on the beach
  • Candid walking shots on the jetty and near the ocean
  • Cozy photos downtown Woods Hole
  • And of course, adorable images with their Bernese Mountain Dog Noosa—a session favorite!
