"Beyond amazing!!!
I CANNOT thank Christopher enough for shooting our engagement session! From booking to receiving the final portfolio, he was on top of communication and went above and beyond when it came to actually photographing us. I have to say, yes, his communication was great, yes, the photos are phenomenal, but the thing I absolutely loved the most is how comfortable he made me feel. I have never felt as beautiful as I did that evening."

New England Engagement Photographer
Modern • Emotional • Effortlessly Editorial
Your engagement session should feel natural, relaxed, and true to who you are. I photograph with a blend of gentle direction and real connection—creating images that feel modern, emotional, and timeless.
Whether we’re exploring the Seacoast, wandering through Boston, or chasing golden light in the mountains, your session becomes a space to slow down, be yourselves, and create something meaningful.
What Your Engagement Session Feels Like
- Natural movement, real emotion
- Clean, modern compositions
- Editorial energy without the stiffness
- A relaxed experience that lets you be yourselves
These sessions are designed to feel effortless while giving you images that look like they belong in a magazine—yet still feel unmistakably you.
Why Engagement Sessions Matter
Your engagement session is more than a warm‑up. It’s a chance to connect, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create images that celebrate this season of your life. Many couples use these photos for save‑the‑dates, wedding websites, and prints for their home.
What to Expect During the Session
My style is relaxed, natural, and movement‑driven. You won’t be stiffly posed.
Expect:
- Light direction to help you feel comfortable
- Prompts that create natural interaction
- A mix of candid moments and editorial portraits
- Space to be yourselves
Most sessions last 60–90 minutes, depending on location and light
Your engagement photos should feel like the two of you — natural, emotional, and beautifully real. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d love to create something unforgettable together.

We had an amazing experience with Chris. No better word than saying flawless. Not only the portfolio came up much better than what we were expecting, his communication, his attention to detail and his enthusiasm was above and beyond.
Chris did our engagement photos for us, before the wedding photo. He spent a lot of time understanding what we are exactly looking for, what style suits our vision, and how we can achieve it. Chris was great at communicating all the detail with us, and bring the final conclusion to achieve all goals. He was super enthusiastic about the whole process, which made everything much easier for us to navigate, even when things get a bit stressful (due to weather forecast or anything else). We are so happy we found him, and will definitely work with him again for more of our happy life memories.
Thanks Chris... you are 10 stars

Christopher Raspa Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Chris was extremely communicative and responsive, which put our minds at ease during the hectic planning process. On the day of, his expertise and experience were evident as he provided great direction to ensure we captured all the special moments. The final photos were high quality and delivered in a very timely manner - we had them by the end of our honeymoon! Chris listened to our vision and his editing style was exactly what we wanted. We couldn't recommend Christopher Raspa Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Chris was wonderful to work with! We met him in Portsmouth, NH on a snowy morning to take our engagement photos. Chris had a few different downtown locations in mind which was really helpful. He knows the area very well! We are fairly camera shy, but he was very communicative and engaging, and walked us through different poses and encouraged us to just be ourselves. From the moment we reached out to him all the way to receiving our final images, he was very responsive and answered all of our questions, even providing help with coordinating outfits and suggestions for what to wear that would look best in photos. He provided a few sneak peek images same-day, and sent us our photos the next week. We absolutely love the way they turned out!
