Scott & Sofia’s Engagement Session at Winnekenni Castle

Richard Nieves June 2, 2025

Winnekenni Park in Haverhill, Massachusetts is one of those hidden gems perfect for engagement photos—and Scott and Sofia’s session here was the perfect example of why. With the historic Winnekenni Castle as a backdrop and lush green trails leading down to the water, their shoot was full of timeless charm and playful romance.

We began the afternoon capturing their first look in traditional Filipino attire—Scott in a classic barong tagalog and Sofia in a stunning embroidered bolero. The textures of the castle’s stone exterior complemented their outfits beautifully, creating portraits that felt regal, intimate, and deeply personal.

As the session continued, they changed into more casual, summery outfits, exploring the lakeside and wooded paths of Winnekenni Park. From twirling on the balcony to sharing quiet moments by the dock, their natural chemistry made it easy to document the genuine joy they share.

Their full gallery is now available to view here:

I’ve divided the gallery into two sections:

  • Traditional Elegance – Honoring culture, style, and legacy

  • Playful Romance – Carefree connection and lakeside love

If you’re recently engaged and thinking about an engagement session at Winnekenni Castle or Winnekenni Park, I’d love to hear more about your plans. This location offers both historic character and natural beauty—ideal for couples looking to blend elegance with genuine, candid moments.
