Interested in beautiful, historic architecture? Look no further than the Somerset County Courthouse, located right on Main Street in Downtown Somerville for your engagement session. This style of architecture is what has inspired so many wedding venues and it’s easy to see why. The courthouse grounds not only feature the classic white columns but also nicely manicured greenery and trees.

One of my goals as a photographer is to ensure your photos are timeless. That they can hang on your walls for the next 50 years and still look fresh. I also like to make sure the location can help accomplish that. This gorgeous courthouse definitely brings and elegant beauty to the images!
The bright white stairs at the courthouse are such a clean simple background.
Even in the off season, we can count on some year round greenery!
Being the county seat, Somerville has so much to offer to its visitors. A fun spot around the holidays to sneak in some Christmas vibe.
The doors with the classic iron scrolls are always a favorite spot for couples when we shoot here. Formerly a church, this building is now used as part of the county services.
Your engagement photos are an everyday portrait of yourselves. I love the idea of embracing the casual nature of sessions at a location like this. If Somerville is a place you already frequent, this may be a spot you’ve already admired.
You can’t beat that pretty stone! Just imagine this shot as a nice big portrait for the wall!
Love that crisp white building behind them! The Somerset County Courthouse serves as a perfect backdrop for an engagement session!
Above all, the main focus of the engagement session is get you used to the feeling of being in front of a camera. Capturing beautiful photos might seem like the obvious purpose, but it’s more about the experience. We’ll shift the focus from “OMG I’m so awkward in front of the camera!” to “Oh this isn’t so bad, it’s just us hanging out.” That’s when we’ll get the most natural photos and you’ll feel confident that the wedding day photos will be exactly what you’ve dreamed of.
